Gambart (crater)

Gambart (crater)

Gambart is a small lunar crater on the Mare Insularum, near the central region of the Moon. It can be located to the south-southeast of the prominent ray crater Copernicus. In the past, the floor of Gambart has been flooded with lava, leaving a relatively flat surface surrounded by a smooth but somewhat polygon-shaped outer rim. To the southwest of Gambart C is a lunar dome, a type of shield volcano.

To the northeast, the Surveyor 2 probe landed just to the northeast of Gambart C, to the northeast of Gambart itself. To the southwest of Gambart is an area of hilly terrain deposited from ejecta during the Mare Imbrium impact.
