| What is this curious feature west of crater Godin? Rukls (34) does not give any indication of whether it is a mountain or plateau. The curious point is the light region in what appears to be shadow, and the shadow itself seems to suggest that it is caused by an oddly shaped mountain peak. Extremely cool, but very weird. |

| 'The Silent Observer' (Donald Qualls) sent along his characterization of the feature in question and they seem to agree very nicely with the Orbiter image at right. | Harlan Seyfer noted that the feature in question was visible in image IV-097H1 in the Lunar Orbiter Photographic Atlas of the Moon. |

|
| John Sanford sent along a CCD image of the region in question showing similar feature characteristics. |
