Additional Information
- Mare area of 34,000 km^2 according to measurements by Jim Whitford-Stark.
- The pasty region at Lacus Mortis
As pointed out in LPOD 26 March 2010, a portion of the highlands west of Lacus Mortis take on a 'pasty-looking' appearance that has yet to be explained. The two images below show the region under different lighting conditions (left) easterly-lit, (right) westerly-lit. Both images were taken from the LROC series having WAC Nos. M116166990ME and M119694019ME respectively. Each was calibrated by the LROC_WAC_Previewer. Click image for larger view.- JohnMoore2 JohnMoore2
Nomenclature
- The IAU name is Latin for "Lake of Death".
- This feature was Catalog number 658 in the [/Collated%20List Collated List] and in the original IAU nomenclature of [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations], where the name is attributed to [/Riccioli Riccioli].
- A previously undetected ridge which runs from the part of the Montes Caucasus near Eudoxus toward the southern rim of Lacus Mortis (over the couple Plana and Mason) to Williams is unofficially called Shannen Ridge by Maurice Collins (with Charles Wood co-author of the 21st Century Atlas of the Moon). The name Shannen Ridge is incorporated on chart 9 of this atlas.
- Dorsum Burg (an unofficial name from D.Caes for the wrinkle ridge at the western part of Burg's rim, running from the northern to the southern parts of the rim of Lacus Mortis).
