Description
Elger
([/IAU%20Directions IAU Directions]) SILBERSCHLAG.--A very brilliant crater, 8 or 9 miles in diameter, connected with the great mountain range just referred to. The [/Ariadaeus Ariadaeus] cleft cuts through the range a few miles N. of it. This neighbourhood at sunrise presents a grand spectacle. With high powers under good atmospheric conditions, the plain W. of the mountains is seen to be traversed by a number of shallow winding valleys, trending towards [/Agrippa Agrippa], and separated by low rounded hills which have all the appearance of having been moulded by the action of water.
