BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The "continental" area adjoining the Sinus Iridium stretches here
into Oceanus Procellarum from the north-east (see section 10). A local curiosity
is a group of peaks to the north of the crater Gruithuisen. the formation
Gruithuisen Gamma is shaped like an upturned bath tub. In fact, it is a
tall dome-like mountain massif with a circular base about 20 km in diameter,
with a 900 m peak craterlet. Refer to your Antonin Rukl lunar atlas chart,
page 45.
