Suzhi (crater)
Suzhi Crater is an impact crater in the Iapygia quadrangle on Mars at 27.7 ° S and 274.0 ° W. and is 25.0 km in diameter. Its name was approved in 1991 by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN), and it was named after a place in China.[1] There may have been a lake in the crater in the past because layers are visible in a depression on the floor.
