Montes Jura

Montes Jura is a mountain range in the northwest part of the near side of the Moon.

The selenographic coordinates of this range are 47.1° N 34.0° W. It has a diameter of 422 km, with mountains rising to approximately 3800m[1] above the level of Sinus Iridum.

[2] This range of mountains form a visually pleasing semi-circular ring around the Sinus Iridum, a bay along the northwestern edge of Mare Imbrium.

Peter Grego describes a figurine of "The Moon Maiden", seeing her facial profile in Promontorium Heraclides, her hair in the hills to the west, and her body in Montes Jura.

[5] In the distant past this range once formed the outer wall of a crater about 260 km in diameter.
