BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The south-eastern part of Oceanus Procellarum. The Riphaeus Mountains
stretch along the eastern edge of the Section. To the south-east of the
crater Lansberg D there is a large dome. This part of Oceanus Procellarum
contains numerous wrinkle ridges and small isolated hills, and is interesting
for telescopic observation, especially under low illumination. Larger telescopes
will reveal the narrow sinuous rille Rima Herigonius. Refer to your copy
of the Antonin Rukl lunar atlas chart, page 109.
