Description

This is the Sinus Iridum area in the northwest section of the Moon.

The area is relatively flat, so the ridges, hills and domes stand out well.

Some oddities about the area: 1) A rare named-for-a-woman crater is visible, C Herschel for Carolyn Herschel. And both Russia's Lunakhod 1 and China's Chang'e 3 landed in this area.
