Mons Rümker is an isolated volcanic formation that is located in the northwest part of the Moon's near side, at selenographic coordinates 40.8° N, 58.1° W. The feature forms a large, elevated mound in the northern part of the Oceanus Procellarum lunar mare. The mound has a diameter of 70 km, and climbs to a maximum elevation of about 500 m. It was named for Karl L. C. Rümker. ...more on Wikipedia about "Mons Rümker"

Mons Vinogradov is a rugged massif that is located on the lunar mare where Oceanus Procellarum to the southwest joins Mare Imbrium to the east. There are three primary peaks in this formation, which rise to altitudes of 1.0-1.4 km above the surface. To the east of this rise is Euler crater, and to the southeast is an area of rugged ground that reaches the Montes Carpatus range. The Carpatus mountain range forms the southwest boundary of the Mare Imbrium. ...more on Wikipedia about "Mons Vinogradov"

Mons Vitruvius is a mountain on the Moon that is located in the Montes Taurus region just to the north of Mare Tranquillitatis and to the southeast of Mare Serenitatis. This massif is located at selenographic coordinates of 19.4° N, 30.8° E, and it has a diameter about the base of 15 km. It rises to a maximum height of about 2.3 km near the northeastern end. This mountain was named for the Vitruvius crater, located to the south-southeast. (The eponym for this feature is Marcus P. Vitruvius.) ...more on Wikipedia about "Mons Vitruvius"
