Nansen-Apollo (Moon)

Astronaut-named feature, Apollo 17 site.

Nansen-Apollo is a feature on Earth's Moon, a crater in Taurus-Littrow valley, at the base of the South Massif. The astronauts referred to it simply as Nansen during the mission. Nansen is located in the 'light mantle' which is almost certainly an avalanche deposit from the South Massif. (wikipedia entry)
