Russell is the lava-flooded remains of a lunar impact crater. It is located in the western part of the Oceanus Procellarum close to the western lunar limb. As a result it appears oblong-shaped due to foreshortening.The south-southwestern rim of Russell overlaps the larger rim of the lava-flooded crater Struve and together the two crater rims form a figure-8 outline with a wide gap where they are joined.
