Bam is an impact crater located on the lava plains of Hesperia Planum (Mare Tyrrhenum quadrangle) on Mars at 25.79 ð S and 115.67ð E, approximately 6.8 kilometers in diameter. It was named after a city in the Kerman province of Iran, having had its name approved in April 2017.
Bam is considered to be one of the best well-preserved examples of impact craters on Mars, considering the overall crater morphology, thermophysical signatures, and the relatively young age of its target material. <br />
