Amici (crater)

Computer-generated image of the crater Amici (bottom center), colorized to show altitude (see key on right).

Amici is a lunar impact crater located on the rugged far side of the Moon. It lies south of the larger crater Icarus, and north of McKellar.

The rim of Amici has been eroded and distorted by subsequent impacts, giving it a somewhat polygonal shape.A valleyextends from southern end of the crater toward the satellite crater Amici M. The interior floor has no notable impact formations, but is pockmarked by tiny craterlets.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Amici.
