Zanstra is a lunar crater that is located on the far side of the Moon. It lies to the southeast of the Ibn Firnas-King crater pair, and northwest of Gregory crater. This is a low, eroded formation that is difficult to distinguish from its surroundings. The interior floor is level and not significantly impacted.
