Beaumont (crater)

Beaumont is a lava-flooded crater located on the southwestern shore of the Mare Nectaris on Earth's Moon.

The crater is named after French geologist Léonce Élie de Beaumont.

[1] The rim of Beaumont is breached in the east, where the lava from Mare Nectaris broached the crater and flooded the interior.

A low ridge runs northward from the crater rim across the Mare Nectaris.

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