HERCULES
A very interesting landscape with a great variety of lunar formations. The rilles in the crater Bürg and on the floor of the crater Posidonius, as well as the rilles Rimae Daniell, all demand attention. Dark areas include the lakes Lacus Mortis, Lacus Somniorum, and the northeastern edge of Mare Serenitatis.
