AS17-M-1518 Mons Agnes is a vaguely defined rise on the floor of the [/Ina Ina] caldera. According to the Topophotomap it is at most 30 m tall. The white arrow points to its purported position very close to the east rim, although no indication of a raised feature can be seen at that position in this lower sun view. Besides [/Ina Ina], the other IAU-named features in this field are [/Osama Osama] and [/Dag Dag].

Description
It is unclear from the Topophotomap if Mons Agnes is a thought to be a dome-shaped rise on the floor or an inward extension of the east rim of [/Ina Ina]. The high resolution versions of the Apollo images show more of a depression than a rise at this position. Possibly Mons Agnes is meant to be the ridge between two of these depressions (with which the floor of [/Ina Ina] is scalloped. - JimMosher JimMosher
