Ellerman

Additional Information

There's an unnamed valley just south-southwest of Ellerman, which is noticeable at LAC 107 (page 214) in the Clementine Atlas of the Moon. The cause of this valley is probably the impact which created the basin Mare Orientale. This valley is called Vallis Ellerman by D.Caes.

Nomenclature
