Anaximander is a lunar impact crater that is located near the northwest limb of the Moon.

The outer wall of Anaximander is heavily worn and eroded, with multiple notches and breaks.

There is no central peak, but the floor contains several small craterlets and a multitude of tiny pits from minor impacts.

This crater has merged with the larger Anaximander D to the south, and there is a wide break in their common rims where they have joined.

[1] By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Anaximander.
