Minimum depth (m): 1662. Maximum depth (m): 5592. Total relief (m): 3930. Dimension/size: 45 km × 36 km. |

History: Named from its shape as the feature, from the top view, looks like a Henricia starfish, "Fengzhao" in Chinese, clinging to the sea floor. Indeed, the feature has five radially distributed ridges, similar to the henricia with its five arms. |
