Gula is a crater on Ganymede. It is a fresh crater with a distinctive central peak. It is about 40 km (25 miles) in diameter.A characteristic feature of both Gula and its southern neighbor Achelous almost identical in size is the pedestal − an outward-facing relatively gently sloped scarp that terminates the continuous ejecta blanket. Similar features may be seen in ejecta blankets of Martian craters suggesting impacts into a volatile (ice)-rich target material.
