Unknown
In these images we see a few mountains on the Moon, namely Montes Caucasus and northern Montes Apenninus. Since the terminator is close to this area, peaks and the shadows they produce are best seen.
Montes Caucasus start north west of the crater Eudoxus, and ends at the south, where Montes Apeninnus begin. Montes Caucasus, as Apenninus, are surrounded by two large basins, Mare Imbrium and Mare Serenitatis.
Between the Caucasus mountains, we distinguish a crater called Calippus (33 km), which at this stage we find it immersed in darkness.
Other craters seen here are: Lamech (13 km), Egede (37 km), Cassini (57 km), Theaetetus (25 km), Alexander (82 km).

In the picture below are labeled craters and other lunar features in the region. To better understand this photo, you should note that the label with the name or the letter of larger craters could be found at their center, and on the small craters, you should find them around them, usually above.
