Unknown
The area discussed in this article, is with few craters. All of them are located on Oceanus Procellarum. Krieger crater (22 km), is one of them. Krieger is a flooded crater with a slightly polygonal shape. It is a small crater, but there's an even smaller crater named Van Biesbroeck (10 km) on its south rim. I do not know what was the purpose of the International Astronomical Union, because they put an individual name for this crater and not called it as a satellite crater of Krieger, with a letter.
Other craters visible in these images: Nielsen (10 km), Wollaston (10 km), Angstrom (10 km), Artsimovich (9 km), Diophantus (19 km) and Prinz (47 km). There are also Mons Harbinger with Dorsa Argand.
