Template:Infobox Mars crater

Nipigon is an impact crater on Mars, located in the Arcadia quadrangle just North-East of the volcano Uranius Patera. It measures 9.3 kilometers (5.8 mi) in diameter.[1]

The crater was named after the Canadian town of Nipigon, Ontario, by IAU's Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature in 1991.[1] It is also worthy to note that the location of Nipigon crater (33.7ºN 81.9ºW) in Latitude and Longitude on Mars is close to that of Nipigon, Ontario (49°00′N 88°25′W) on Earth.
