Gaea (crater)

Gaea is an impact crater on Amalthea, one of the small moons of Jupiter.

[2] One third of Gaea's interior is covered by a bright spot, the largest on Amalthea.

It is about 25 km wide and appears to extend beyond the crater.

[3] Gaea is near Amalthea's south pole, far south from the moon's other bright areas, Lyctos Facula and Ida Facula, which are on the slopes of a prominent mountain elongated along the meridian.
