A Little Slice of Solitude
image by Dmitry Makolkin, Moscow, Russia
This excerpt from a crescent shows a less familiar terrain with skating rink craters (rings with smooth floors)
amidst a swampy region where mare lavas have erased the walls of older craters. The mare areas seem
connected, so you could drive diagonally across across much of the terrain without climbing over rims. Where
is this and what is the structural reason for the maria?

Notice the counter at bottom left? It is about 66,000 page views until it turns over to one million. With about
2500 page views a day we should reach a million by the end of May. I am not sure when the counter was
installed - sometime in 2008 - so since its start on Jan 1, 2004 LPOD has probably already long ago passed
the one million mark. All because of the great images that friends from all over the world send in!
