El (Ganymede)

"Father of Men", existed before the birth of gods.

El is a crater on Ganymede. It has a small "pit" in its center. Craters with such a "central pit" are common across Ganymede and are especially intriguing since they may reveal secrets about the structure of the satellite's shallow subsurface. (wikipedia entry)

A crater is a circular depression likely created by an impact event. On Ganymede they are named after gods and heroes of ancient Fertile Crescent people.
