Winslow is an impact crater on Mars, located in the Iapygia quadrangle at -3.74°S latitude and 59.16°E longitude. It measures 1.08 kilometres (0.67 mi) in diameter and was named after Winslow, Arizona, a town just east of Meteor Crater, which has a similar size and resembles Winslow crater.[1] The two craters also have similar infrared characteristics.[2]
