It is located to the west-northwest of the large walled plain Fermi, and to the northeast of the crater Hilbert.

This is an eroded crater formation with a rim that has been partly damaged by subsequent impacts.

The small, sharp-rimmed satellite crater Kondratyuk A lies on the interior floor, along the northeast inner wall.

[2] It is named in honor of Yuri Kondratyuk, a Ukrainian and Soviet engineer and mathematician, who fought and died in World War II, as a volunteer of the Red Army.

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