Montes Taurus 28.4°N, 41.1°E

The Taurus Mountains is a mountainous region east of Mare Serenitatis, extending for about 200 km. The highest peaks reach 3 km in height. The region has no clear boundaries and lies between Sinus Amoris (the ‘Bay of Love’) and Lacus Somniorum (‘Lake of Dreams’). The conspicuous crater Römer lies within the mountains. West of Römer, and running towards the south for 110 km, are the linear rilles Rimae Römer. North of Römer there is the rille system Rimae Römer G. Both systems of rilles are clearly visible under low illumination and are observable in small telescopes.

Römer 25.4°N, 36.4°E

A conspicuous crater in the southern Taurus Mountains with a diameter of 40 km, a sharp rim, terraced inner walls and a central peak running north-south. There is a small crater on the northern crater wall.

Littrow 21.5°N, 31.4°E

A lava-flooded crater, 30 km in diameter. The crater rim is flat, eroded and, towards the south, practically non-existent. Nearby, on the west, lying between Littrow and the small crater Clerke (7 km, 21.7°N, 29.8°E) are the arcuate, Rimae Littrow rilles, with an overall length of 120 km. North of Clerke is Catena Littrow, a short chain of small craters.

Gardner 17.7°N, 33.8°E

A smaller crater, 18 km in diameter, with a smooth floor. It lies on a domed plateau, which may probably be classed as a mega dome. The plateau's shape is like that of a peninsula, and is crossed by narrow rilles, chains of hills and rocky ridges.
