It is separated from the crater Kostinskiy to the northeast by only a few kilometers of rough terrain.

This is a worn and eroded crater with an outer rim that has been somewhat distorted in shape due to nearby impacts.

The interior floor has also been marked by impacts, including an eroded formation occupying the northwestern portion.

The crater is named after the Swiss-born American geographer and geologist Arnold Henry Guyot.

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