Engelʹgardt (crater)

Engelʹgardt, or Engelhardt, is a lunar impact crater on the far side of the Moon, located to the north of the huge walled plain Korolev.

The material on the inner sides has slid down to form piles of scree along the base.

The inner wall is narrowed to the south, where the satellite crater Engelʹgardt N lies adjacent to the edge.

The highest-elevation point on the entire surface of the Moon (10,786 m/35,387 ft above the mean lunar elevation) is located on the east rim of Engelʹgardt Crater.

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