Kara is a meteor crater in eastern Nenetsia, Russia.

It is 65 km in diameter and the age is estimated to be 70.3 ± 2.2 million years old (Upper Cretaceous). Impactite outcrops located on the Baydarata Gulf shore north-east of the crater imply that the original size of the crater, now greatly eroded, was 120 km in diameter [1]. The crater is not exposed to the surface.
