Mare Humorum is a small circular mare
on the lunar nearside. It is about 275 miles across. The mountains
surrounding Mare. Humorum mark the edge of an old impact basin. This
basin has been flooded and filled by mare lavas. These lavas also extend
past the basin rim in several places. In the upper right are several
such flows which extend northwest into southern Oceanus Procellarum. The
rather large crater to the north of the mare is Gassendi.
The crater on the southeastern rim of the basin is Doppelmayer. The
light grey feature that protrudes into the mare from the southeast is
Promontorium Kelvin.
