Kant (crater)

This last feature forms a mountainous promontory reaching a height of about 4 km.

[1] This crater has a well-defined and somewhat uneven rim that is roughly circular in shape.

The inner walls have a higher albedo than the surrounding surface, giving them a lighter appearance.

At the midpoint of the interior is a low central rise, with a craterlet at the summit, giving the appearance of terrestrial volcano, although the peak is probably not volcanic.

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