The lower two-thirds of the visible portion is the southern hemisphere of Mercury. The resolution is about 2 km. The flat-floored crater just below the center of the frame, containing two smaller craters at its bottom right and left, is the 160 km diameter Petrarch. The light-floored crater surrounded by darker material at the upper left is Lermontov, diameter 160 km.
