Al-Kuz is an impact crater on the anti-Saturn hemisphere of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Al-Kuz was first observed in Cassini images during that mission's March 2005 flyby of Enceladus. It is located at 18.7° South Latitude, 178.2° West Longitude, and is 9.3 kilometers across.[1] Since the crater's formation, numerous southwest–northeast trending fractures cut across the crater, forming canyons several hundred meters deep along the crater's rim. In addition, a smaller impact occurred along the northern crater wall, forming a crater 4 kilometers wide.
