Mons Pico

This mountain feature is thought to have been named by Johann Hieronymus Schröter for Pico del Teide on Tenerife.

[2] Mons Pico forms an elongated feature with a length of 25 kilometers (oriented northwest-southeast) and a width of 15 km.

[1] Due to its isolated location on the lunar mare, this peak can form prominent shadows when illuminated by oblique sunlight.

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

Two of the travelers, Nichol and Ardan, suggest christening the nearby unnamed peak Barbicane, in honor of the third.
