Buck is a crater in theNavka region ofVenus. It has theterraced walls, flat radar-dark floor, and central peak that are characteristic of craters classified as "complex". The central peak on its floor is unusually large. Flow-like deposits extend beyond the limits of the coarser rim deposits on its west and southwest. Like about half of the craters mapped byMagellan to date, it is surrounded by a local, radar-dark halo.
