Groundhog Day

This image features a simple crater surrounded by a relatively smooth surface. The pristine crater rim is an indication that this is a relatively fresh crater. The high incidence angle at which this image was taken results in a large shadow covering the crater floor, making it appear very deep - the perfect depth for a future groundhog spotting.
