STADIUS

The dark monotonous area of Sinus Aestuum is surrounded by several interesting formations, the most striking being the beautiful crater Eratosthenes. A mountain range projects south-west of Eratosthenes towards the "submerged crater" Stadius. Northwest of Stadius is a crater chain that continues further north (see map 20). A dome is clearly visible close to the crater Gambart C. Under high illumination, large, prominent dark patches can be seen to the south of the crater Copernicus C and to the north of the crater Schröter D. The area near Gambart C was the landing site of Surveyor 2.
