Glazenap (crater)

Glazenap is a lunar impact crater that is located on the Moon's far side. It lies to the south-southwest of the huge walled plain Mendeleev, and to the northwest of the crater Pannekoek. This crater is nearly circular, and has not been significantly eroded. However, a small crater lies across the northwestern rim. The loose material deposited along the inner walls has accumulated at the base in a ring of scree about the interior floor.
