[edit] Summary

The circular crater near the center is Tolansky. To the north-center is the flooded Parry crater. Attached to the western rim of Parry is the flooded Bonpland crater. A portion of the much larger Fra Mauro walled plain is along the top edge on the left half. The flooded crater with the broken rim to the lower right is Guericke. Note the numerous rille systems in the surface.

This image was taken during the Apollo 16 mapping metric sequence, revolution 38. The selenographic coordinates of this image are 9.50° S, 15.80° W. The picture was produced by rotating the image 90° counter-clockwise so that north is toward the top edge, then reducing it in size to 25%.
