Pollack (crater)

Pollack Crater is an impact crater in the Sinus Sabaeus quadrangle of Mars, located at 7.9° S and 334.8° W. It is 96.0 km in diameter and was named after James B. Pollack, an American physicist (1938–1994). Pollack Crater contains a large light toned deposit that was once thought to be a salt deposit. However, the surrounding rocks are exceptionally dark and that makes this deposit appear white.
