A lot of interesting craters, seas, and mountains. Let's go over them.



I'll be going down from the upper sections of the image. 



- On the top left side, we see the Plato's crater. Its diameter is about 100km. 

- Moving down from Plato's crater, we can observe a mountain ridge. Those are the moon Alps, or "Montes Alpes" to be exact (height of ~2400m). 

- Right of the Alps, we see two large craters. The upper one is the Aristoteles crater (diameter 87km), and the smaller one below is the Eudoxus crater (diameter 67km).

- Moving down from the Alps, we will eventually bump into the Caucasus mountain ridge (height reaching up to ~6000m). It has a slight tilt from the Alps.

- Caucasus Mountain Ridge separates the Sea of Rains "Mare Imbrium" on the left, and the Sea of Serenity "Mare Serenitatis" on the right.

- As we move further down, we can observe a level surface, the point where the two Seas connect. 

- Going left from that point will lead you up to a group of craters. Two of them situated one above the other, and the third bigger one off to the left. The big one on the left would be the Archimedes crater (diameter 81km), with the Aristillus crater being the top right one (diameter 55km), and the Autolycus being right under it (diameter 39km).

- If you follow the curved trajectory that Caucasus Ridge sets, you will end up on the Apennine Mountain Ridge (height up to ~5000m). 

- At the end of the Apennine ridge, you will see another big crater, that would be the Eratosthenes crater (diameter 59km).

- Next crater, is situated in the lower part of the image. To find it, just draw a downward-facing line from the Caucasus ridge. That is the Manilius crates (diameter 38km).

- Right off the Manilius crater, we can see a smaller crater, called Menelaus. It has a diameter of about 27km. 



That should be it! The first quarter never disappoints!
