BRIEF DESCRIPTION
This section is dominated by the dark surface of Oceanus
Procellarum. The right-hand edge of the area features an unusual
elevated formation. Oceanus Procellarum is separated from the
north-western limb of the Moon by a seemingly narrow
"continental" strip. Refer to your Antonin Rukl lunar atlas
chart, page 43.
