# Suzhi (crater)

Suzhi is an impact crater on Mars, located in the Iapygia quadrangle at 27.7°S and 274.0°W. It measures 24.63 kilometres (15.30 mi) in diameter and was named by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature in 1991 after a place in China. There may have been a lake in the crater in the past because layers are visible in a depression on the floor.
