Description

The image shows two characteristic formations of the lunar surface, on the one hand the remarkable massif of the Apennines (Montes Apenninus) and the imposing crater Erastothenes with very clear contours with a enclosure in tiers and central piton.

The Apennines are surrounded by two seas, the Sea of Rains (Mare Imbrium), the Sea of Steams (Mare Vaporum) and an expanse similar to that of the seas, the Torrid Gulf (Sinus Aestuum).

Wallace is an ancient crater covered in lava (26 km).
