The document discusses the post-impact heating of the Boltysh impact crater lake in Ukraine. Key points: 1) Drilling of the Boltysh crater recovered over 600m of lacustrine sediments that filled the crater after impact and provide a record of the early crater lake environment. 2) Palynological analysis of the basal sediments estimates the duration of post-impact heating was 2-5ka, similar to other small craters. 3) Geochemical analysis of the sediments suggests post-impact heating may have lasted longer, around 30-40ka, influenced by the presence of the long-lived crater lake. 4) The prolonged hydrothermal system supported by the lake enhances the
