Tags: Crater.
Scott is a lunar impact crater near the south pole of the Moon. Its location close to the lunar limb hinders observation both from the foreshortening of the crater as seen from Earth and from the limited sunlight that enters the basin. In fact the northern end of this crater is in near perpetual darkness and has not been mapped in detail. Scott lies between the similar-sized crater Amundsen to the southeast and Schomberger to the northwest.
