Desc. | Elliptical pit, with extremely similar shape to the Mare Ingenii pit. NW side is a slope from surface to permanent shadow. Numerous layers visible on W wall in nadir images, similar to S wall of Lacus Mortis. There is an overhang under the E rim at the edge of the permanent shadow. No notable features within a few km, though the W edge of the unit the pit is in, ~10 km away, has a weird, scalloped edge. |
