Byrd is an irregular lunar crater that is located near the north pole of the Moon. The north rim of Byrd is nearly connected to the crater Peary a formation that is adjacent to the pole. The smaller crater Gioja is attached to the remains of the southwest rim.The rim of Byrd is worn and eroded with sections distorted by intruding crater rims along the perimeter. As a result the crater interior is longer in the north-south direction than it is wide.
