Carver (crater)

Carver is a lunar impact crater that is located on the far side of the Moon, due east of the walled plain Van der Waals. To the northeast is the crater Rosseland, and to the south-southeast lies Kozyrev.

Despite some wear due to impacts, the wide inner wall of this crater still contains some terraces. There are several tiny craters along the rim edge and the inner walls, but no notable intersecting impacts. Carver overlies the north-northeast rim of the old, heavily worn Carver M. The interior floor of Carver contains a small central peak at the midpoint, and several small craterlets in the southern half. The remainder of the floor is relatively featureless, and has a diameter about half the diameter of the crater.
