Montes Teneriffe
Montes Teneriffe is a range on the northern part of the
Moon's near side. It was named after
Tenerife, one of the
Canary Islands.
This range is located in the northern part of the
Mare Imbrium, to the southwest of
Plato crater. The Montes Teneriffe lie within a diameter of about 110
kilometers, although the peaks only occupy a small part of that region. The formation consists of a few scattered ridges surrounded by the
lunar mare. Individual peaks rise to heights of up to 2.4 km.
To the southeast of the range is the solitary
Mons Pico.
