Hooke crater is located at about 46°S / 316°E, near the northern edge of the 1800 km-wide Argyre basin, one of the most impressive impact structures on Mars. The crater, with diameter 138 km and a maximum depth of about 2.4 km, is situated in a flat region within the basin known as Argyre Planitia.
The region was imaged by the High Resolution Stereo Camera on Mars Express on 20 April 2014 during orbit 13 082. The smaller rectangle above outlines the region highlighted in the associated Mars Express images.
