Darwin, Byrgius & the Montes Cordillera

Top center we see the paired craters of Sirsalis and Sirsalis A. To it's right we see the 45km crater Hansteen, the mountain Mons Hansteen and the flooded crater Billy. To the left of the Sirsalis craters we find the Summer Lake (Lacus Aestatis) and the 90km crater Rocco emerging from the darkness.As we turn south we pas by the flooded crater Crüger, past Darwin to Byrgius (46,130 & 87km respectively) in the center of the frame. Reaching south along the terminator the Montes Cordillera are basking in the dawn light, leading us down to the walled plains of Lagrange and Piazzi (160 & 101km).
