Drygalski P (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Drygalski

Named after Erich Dagobert von Drygalski - German geographer, geophysicist (1865-1949).

Drygalski is a large lunar impact crater that lies along the southern limb. It partly overlies the crater Ashbrook to the west on the far side. Just to the north is the smaller Boltzmann. The location of this crater restricts its observation from the Earth, and even under conditions of favorable libration it is viewed from the edge. (wikipedia entry)
