Tags: Crater.

Wargentin is an unusual lunar impact crater which has been filled to its rim by a basaltic lava flow forming a raised plateau. When the lava flow occurred it erupted from within the crater walls and proceeded to accumulate until overrunning the lowest portion of the rim. Some blockage then prevented the lava flow from returning to equilibrium.
