From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Europa's surface is very young, geologically speaking, and as a result are very few craters. Furthermore, as Europa's surface is made of weak water ice over a liquid ocean, most surviving craters have slumped so that their structure is very low in relief. The craters that are large enough to have names are all named after prominent figures in Celtic myths and folklore. Here is a list of those craters:
- Amergin
- Angus
- Avagddu
- Balor
- Brigid
- Camulus
- Cilix
- Cliodhna
- Cormac
- Deirdre
- Diarmuid
- Dylan
- Elathan
- Govannan
- Grainne
- Gwydion
- Llyr
- Mael Duin
- Maeve
- Manannan
- Math
- Morvran
- Niamh
- Oisin
- Pryderi
- Pwyll
- Rhiannon
- Taliesin
- Tegid
