Scoresby is a Moon impact crater located on the north side. Crater is nearly attached to Challis (56 km) along the northwestern edge (crater Main-56 km, is united with Challis to the north), and is located just north of Meton crater (122 km). Because of its location, this crater appears oval when viewed from Earth, appearing in elliptical shape. It is, however, very circular when seen on top of it.
Scoresby has a depth of 2.4 km, and has an outer wall with sharp edges. It is not marked by other impacts.
Inside is a prominent central peak formation consisting of three mountainous ridges, visible in the photos above.
Other craters in the images below are Goldschmidt and Anaxagoras, W. Bond, Epigenes, and bottom begins Mare Frigoris.
