Details:
Pythagoras and Carpenter Region
Crater Pythagoras (129 km diameter) has a spectacular central peak and lies just to the upper left of center in this image. To its upper right the battered Anaximander rests between Pythagoras and Carpenter (60 km in diameter). The ruined crater Desargues lies just above Anaximander, and to its upper right, Pascal has a discernible central peak emerging from the partly shadowed floor. Two small craters on the upper rim of Pascal peer like eyes across the scene.
To the lower left of Pythagoras, the squared off crater of Babbage contains two small craters on its interior. Below it another square crater, South, abuts a rectangular peninsula-like formation on its right, and beyond the "peninsula," crater J Herschel is just barely visible. These craters were sculpted, or should I say battered, by ejecta from the Imbrium impact, but how they ended up square is challenging to imagine.
Mare Frigoris crosses the lower part of the image streaked by various ray and pocked by small craters. The 40 km Harpalus stands out on the lower image margin, just left of center.
