BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The western part of Mare Serenitatis offers the observer crater pits, long wrinkle ridges, and also the "mysterious" crater Linne, about which much has been written. There is a series of clefts west of the crater Sulpicious Gallus, which parallel the Haemus mountain range. Refer to your Antonin Rukl lunar atlas chart, page 73.
