Munkácsy, named after Mihály Munkácsy, is a crater on Mercury. Munkácsy originally had a double-ring basin structure, but most of the inner ring was buried when the basin was flooded with volcanic lava. Only a few remnants of the ring poke up through the lava, although low ridges in the lava seem to trace out much of the rest of the ring's circumference.[1] Munkácsy is one of 110 peak ring basins on Mercury.[2]
The name of the crater was adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 2009. Munkácsy is named for the Hungarian painter Mihály Munkácsy.[3]
The crater Fonteyn is to the northwest of Munkácsy, and the crater Raditladi is to the northeast.
