Enterprise Rupes

Enterprise Rupes is an escarpment on Mercury, located at 36.54°S, 283.46°W. It is the longest rupes on Mercury, with a length of 820 km. The escarpment was named after USS Enterprise (1874), a ship which conducted the first surveys of the Mississippi and Amazon rivers.

Enterprise Rupes are within the Debussy quadrangle and they cut across Rembrandt crater. The scarp is the youngest tectonic feature observed in this region, because it cuts all other units including smooth plains.
