McMurdo Crater (84.5 south, 0 west) is the largest extant impact (approx. 23 km diameter) that has scarred the south polar layered deposits (SPLD) of Planum Australe, Mars. It occurs along the margin of the SLPD and formed a broad field of secondary craters across the planum. These secondaries as well as other associated features serve as both key stratigraphic markers that provide a basis for resolving stages in the resurfacing history of the SPLD, and important indicators of the SPLD substrate character. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.
