It is located on the western edge of the range, near the shore of Mare Imbrium, at 45°29′N 0°25′E / 45.48°N 0.42°E / 45.48; 0.42.

[1] The name of Mont Blanc, the highest mountain of terrestrial Alps, was proposed for this mountain by Johann Hieronymus Schröter.

[2] It was approved by International Astronomical Union in 1935.

[2][3] It is the only summit of Montes Alpes with proper name and the only extraterrestrial mountain, whose international name contains French word "Mont" instead of Latin "Mons".

[4] Despite statements that lunar Mont Blanc, like terrestrial one, is a highest mountain of its Alps,[5] measurements of Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter show that it is only third, being 600 meters lower than the highest one and about 100 m lower than the second.
