Buck is a crater on the planet Venus, in the Navka region. It is a complex crater with terraced walls, a flat radar-dark floor, and a very large central peak. Flow-like deposits extend to the west and southwest beyond the rim. Buck is surrounded by a local radar-dark halo, a feature seen in about half of Magellan’s mapped craters. The crater is 21.8 kilometers in diameter and is named after Pearl S. Buck.
