Adlinda (crater)
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Adlinda is the third-largest multiring structure (impact crater) on Jupiter's moon Callisto, measuring roughly 1000 km in diameter.[1] It is situated in the southern hemisphere of Callisto. The name is taken from Inuit mythology.
The relatively young, large Lofn impact crater is superposed on Adlinda.[1] The bright deposits from this crater cover about 30% of the surface of Adlinda hindering detailed study. Lofn is an example of a flat floored impact crater.
