Atlas is a prominent lunar impact crater that is located in the northeast part of the Moon to the southeast of Mare Frigoris. Just to the west is the slightly smaller but still prominent crater Hercules. Northeast of Atlas is the large Endymion.The inner wall of Atlas is multiply terraced and the edge slumped forming a sharp-edged lip. This is a floor-fractured crater with a rough and hilly interior that has a lighter albedo than the surroundings.
