Vostok Rupes is an escarpment on Mercury.

The scarp is a surface manifestation of a thrust fault, which formed when the planet contracted as its interior cooled.

[2] Vostok Rupes cuts across the crater Guido d'Arezzo and across a larger, unnamed crater to the northwest.

Vostok Rupes is named after Russian ship Vostok, which led the First Russian Antarctic Expedition in 1819–1821, commanded by Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen.
