Voyager 2 and Cassini views of Duban Crater

Duban is a crater in the northern hemisphere of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Duban was first seen in Voyager 2 images, though the crater has also been seen in much higher resolution Cassini images. It is located at 58.3° North Latitude, 277.5° West Longitude and is 20 kilometers across. In the Cassini image, evidence for significant tectonic deformation can be seen along the northwest rim of the crater.

Duban is named after a sage who cured King Yunan of leprosy in Arabian Nights.
