Mountainous area adjoining Mare Serenitatis and Mare Tranquilitatis. Romer is surrounded by a dense field of craters with disintegrated walls. The region of Romer, Chacornac and Littrow has a system of conspicuous rilles. The Apollo 17 expedition landed in a valley between mountains to the north of Littrow. Lunokhod 2 was active in le Monnier. (Note: Location of "lost" Lunokhod" has been discovered - See reports below) Refer to your copy of the Antonin Rukl Lunar Atlas chart, page 77.
