Tags: Crater.

Beaumont is a lava-flooded crater located on the southwestern shore of the Mare Nectaris on Earth’s Moon. It lies to the northwest of the similarly flooded crater remnant Fracastorius. To the west is the prominent crater Catharina.The rim of Beaumont is breached in the east where the lava from Mare Nectaris broached the crater and flooded the interior. Now only a worn and crater-impacted outer wall remains. If the crater once possessed a central peak it is no longer apparent.
