Barsukov is an impact crater on Mars, located in the Oxia Palus quadrangle and south of Sagan crater. It was named in 2003 after Soviet geochemist and planetologist Valeri Barsukov.[1]
The crater has a flat floor with no evidence of a central peak. A narrow channel called Silinka Vallis enters the crater along the northeast rim.
