Sveinsdóttir (Mercury)

Named after Júlíana Sveinsdóttir - Icelandic painter and textile artist (1889-1966).

Sveinsdóttir is a large impact crater on Mercury. Its dimensions are 220 × 120 km. Sveinsdóttir crater superimposed by Beagle Rupes is a distinctive feature on Mercury's landscape. Unusually elliptical in shape, the crater was produced by the impact of an object that hit Mercury's surface obliquely. (wikipedia entry)

A crater is a circular depression likely created by an impact event. On Mercury they are named after deceased artists, musicians, painters, and authors who have made outstanding or fundamental contributions to their field and have been recognized as art historically significant figures for more than 50 years.
