Lomonosov (Martian crater)

Lomonosov is a crater on Mars, with a diameter close to 150 km.

The topography is smooth and young in this area, hence Lomonosov is easy to spot on large maps of Mars.

The impact that created the crater has been identified as a possible source of tsunami waves which washed the shores of an ancient ocean formerly present in the basin Vastitas Borealis.

[1][2][3] In July 2019, further support was reported for an ancient ocean on Mars that may have been formed by a possible mega-tsunami source resulting from a meteorite impact creating Lomonosov crater.
