Does the isolated mountain south of the Herodotus crater have a name? it looks like a volcanic cone, but I suppose it isn't. Maybe the crater at the top is just a case of impact on the summit, one of many on the moon.

Oh, Andy, that's good! Thanks for the link. Very interesting. Area looks scientifically rich and beautiful in the extreme.

It's also the youngest identified lava flow on the Moon - not the dome, the surrounding plains. A prime candidate for sample return.

Thanks Andy,
This is the most structure that looks like an Earth-volcano over the Moon or I'm wrong?
