Crater on Mercury
Surikov is a crater on Mercury. Its name was adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 1979. Surikov is named for the Russian painter Vasily Surikov.[1]
Surkiov is an ancient crater - the outer rim is barely distinguishable, but the inner peak ring is apparent. It is one of 110 peak ring basins on Mercury.[2]
To the south of Surikov is Giambologna crater.
