Boris is a tiny lunar crater that is located on the Mare Imbrium, to the northeast of the crater Delisle. It lies near the southwest extremity of a sinuous rille that is designated Rima Delisle. This rille meanders to the northeast, towards the crater Heis, before vanishing into the lunar mare.
This is one of the smallest craters on the Moon to be officially given a name by the IAU.[1]
