Glauber is a small lunar crater that is located just to the north of the large Mendeleev walled-plain, on the Moon's far side. This crater lies just outside the irregular rim of Mendeleev, but well within the outer skirt of ejecta. It is a circular crater with a rim that has not been significantly eroded. The simple inner walls slope down to a small floor at the mid-point. The diameter of the floor is only about one-third that of the crater.
