image by Harald Paleske, Langendorf, Germany
Beyond Bailly, almost (85° W longitude) on the mean limb, is a large crater that is infrequently seen. With a diameter of 149 (or 163 km according to IAU and Rükl, respectively), Drygalski is ~50% larger than Copernicus. The only nearside craters with a relatively fresh classical Copernican look that are bigger are nearby Hausen (167 km) and distant view.
