Gharib is a crater near the north pole of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Gharib was first seen in Voyager 2 images. It is located at 81.1° North Latitude, 241.2° West Longitude and is 26 kilometers across.[1] A large, dome-like structure occupies the interior of the crater, suggesting the crater has undergone significant viscous relaxation.
Gharib is named after a hero from Arabian Nights.
