MAIRAN

The terra area adjoining Sinus Iridium streches here into Oceanus Procellarum from the northeast (see Map 10). A local curiosity is a group of peaks to the north of the crater Gruithuisen. The formation Gruithuisen Gamma is shaped like an upturned bathtub; in fact, it is a tall domelike mountain massif with a circular base about 20 km in diameter, with a 900-m crater on the top.
