Compositional Medley
The crater in the image above lies within the peak ring of Raditladi basin; portions of the peak ring are visible in an arc shape along the bottom of this image. This crater appears to have excavated dark material upon impact, which is seen in beautiful contrast to the bright hollows along the peak-ring structure to the south. There are also several troughs just north of this crater, near the center of Raditladi.
