Turgis (crater)

Turgis /ˈtɜːrdʒᵻs/ is the second largest known crater on Saturn's moon Iapetus, after Abisme. It is 580 km in diameter, 40% of the moon's diameter and one of the larger craters in the Solar System. It is named after a Saracen baron, Turgis of Turtelose (Tortosa).

It is located in Cassini Regio at 16.9°N 28.4°W / 16.9; -28.4. The rim has a scarp about 15 km high that generated a landslide. It is overlain by Malun, the 13th-largest crater on Iapetus.
