עברית: אבן חול צבעונית במכתש הקטן. המכתש הקטן (בשמו המדוייק: מכתש חֲצֵרָ‏ה) הוא מכתש אירוזי, השלישי בגודלו מבין חמשת מכתשי הנגב וחצי האי סיני. המכתש הקטן נמצא ברכס חצרה ומכאן נקרא גם מכתש חצרה (בערבית: الخضيرة - אלחֻ'צַ‏'יְרָ‏ה - "גורן הדקלים"). זהו המכתש המזרחי בסדרת המכתשים שנוצרו בקמרי הר הנגב ובצפון סיני, ביניהם מכתש רמון, המכתש הגדול ומכתשי עריף.
