Mercury, geologic map. Map of the Tolstoj quadrant (H-8) on the planet Mercury based on photogrqaphs taken by the Mariner 10 spacecraft. Black lines outline the shapes of craters, basins, ridges, faults and other notable landmarks. Colours depict the reflectivity (albedo), morphology and texture of regions on the surface. Mercury is the innermost planet in the Solar System. Its surface features extensive craters, basins and plains. The major feature at bottom middle (pink) is the Tolstoj crater which measures 510 kilometres in diameter for the outermost ring.
