Does the isolated mountain south of the Herodotus crater have a name? it looks like a volcanic cone, but I suppose it isn't. Maybe the crater at the top is just a case of impact on the summit, one of many on the moon.

It's also the youngest identified lava flow on the Moon - not the dome, the surrounding plains. A prime candidate for sample return.

Thanks Andy,
This is the most structure that looks like an Earth-volcano over the Moon or I'm wrong? |
