Bergstrand (crater) explained

Coordinates:	-18.72°N 176.44°W
Diameter:	43 km
Depth:	Unknown
Colong:	184
Eponym:	Carl Ö. E. Bergstrand

Bergstrand is a lunar impact crater that lies on the far side of the Moon. It is located just to the southeast of the prominent crater Aitken, and northeast of the walled plain Vertregt.

The rim of Bergstrand is roughly circular, except along the southwest where the larger satellite crater Bergstrand Q intrudes into the outer wall. With one small craterlet covering the southern rim, Bergstrand's outer wall is otherwise only slightly worn. There are a few small craterlets on the mostly flat interior floor.

Satellite craters

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Bergstrand.
