This article is about the impact crater on Mars. In the broadest sense the term impact crater can be applied to any depression natural or manmade resulting from the high velocity impact of a projectile with larger body For other uses, see Fram (disambiguation).

Fram Crater is an impact crater in Meridiani Planum, on Mars. In the broadest sense the term impact crater can be applied to any depression natural or manmade resulting from the high velocity impact of a projectile with larger body Meridiani Planum is a plain located 2 degrees south of Mars ' equator (centered at) in the westernmost portion of Terra Meridiani.
