ANDEL

A terra area with many ancient, degraded craters. The effects of the cataclysm that created the Imbrium basin can be seen as a distinct radial structure overlapping this area. There is an interesting arcuate row of "diminishing" craters: Halley, Hind, Hipparchus C, and Hipparchus L. The Apollo 16 mission landed some distance north of the crater Descartes.
