Dear Noori-
You are absolutely right! It should be "where". There is another mistake in this sentence. It should be a "100-foot-deep crater". And, in your sentence, you should have asked, "What is 'were' doing here?" The lesson is: don't believe that everything you read on the internet is correct. David (ESL teacher in New York City)
