Lofn crater is in the center of the image. In the upper-left corner Adlinda multiring structure is barely visible.

The relatively young, large Lofn impact crater is superposed on Adlinda.[1] The bright deposits from this crater cover about 30% of the surface of Adlinda hindering detailed study. Lofn is an example of a flat floored impact crater.
