Description: Elger
(IAU Directions) ANAXIMINES.--A much foreshortened ring-plain, about 66 miles in diameter, on the W. of Philolaus. One peak on the W. is nearly 8,000 feet in height. Schmidt shows four craters on the E. side of the floor, and a fifth on the S.W. side. There is a bright streak in the interior, which extends southwards for some distance across the Mare Frigoris.

Nomenclature
