The Bright Spot W.N.W. of Condon
A curious high-albedo spot which looks like a raycraterlet (with sharp-edged ejectablanket around it) is located slightly west-northwest of Condon and slightly east of the peninsula at the bay-shaped crater Webb P. According to page 124 (LAC 62) in the Clementine Atlas, the bright spot is located at 2°30' North/ 58°50' East.
A close up of this bright spot was captured on Apollo 17's panoramic ITEK-camera frames AS17-P-2921 and AS17-P-2926. Explore both frames and you shall meet the bright spot while scrolling to the right, its central pit is also visible (you can't miss the spot!).
