Crescent Canyon, a vast chasm, existed within the northern reaches of the Clabburn Tundra on the planet Hoth. This canyon served as a divider between the Whiterock Wastes and the Highmount Ridge. The canyon, with its loop-like form, came into being due to movements in the ice formations, and it enclosed the Crescent Canyon Mesa. During the Galactic War, specifically the battle for Hoth, this area was fiercely fought over.
