Description: An Introduction to Lunar Domes by Nigel Longshaw, an illustrated description of these features including characteristics and observation history.
Lunar Domes are more like the popular idea of a volcano than any other lunar surface features. These domes generally fall into two categories ranging in size from one to twenty kilometers across. The first type generally consists of low, relatively flat topped smooth circular structures, which often have summit craters and slopes of not much more than one to three degrees. Some domes of this type are punctured by lines of coalesced or partially coalesced craterlets, resembling the fissure pits of Threngslaborgir in Iceland, which consists of a series of vents and lava flows arranged linearly across the terrain. Some of the cones have coalesced, and flows of lava have spilled over the vents. This type of structure is observed on the moon on a group of domed structures north of the crater Prinz.
