Tags: Crater.
de Gerlache is a lunar crater that is located along the southern limb of the Moon within a crater diameter of Shackleton at the south pole. From the Earth this crater is seen from the edge and it lies in perpetual darkness. Thus little or no detail can be seen of this crater other than the edge of the rim. However the crater is clearly visible in Earth-based radar images. The crater is roughly circular with some slight wear.
