It is located beside the east-southeastern rim of the crater Zagut, and to the northeast of Rabbi Levi.

To the northeast is the slightly smaller crater Rothmann and the Rupes Altai scarp.

The edge is sharp, with a small outer rampart, and there are terraces along parts of the interior wall.

The interior floor is irregular in places, and there is a formation of central peaks about the midpoint.

[5][1] By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Lindenau.
