Nabokov is one of 110 peak ring basins on Mercury.[2] To the west is another peak-ring basin, Holst, of similar size. To the north of Nabokov is Martins crater, and to the northeast is Barney. Nabokov lies on the east side of the ancient Lennon-Picasso Basin. About 137 km to the northeast of Barney is the highest point on Mercury (over 4 km above the global average), the highest part of scarps that are remnants of the rim of the Lennon-Picasso Basin.
