caption_attribution_description: English: Oblique view of C. Mayer crater, facing northwest, on the moon.
context_page_description: C. Mayer is a lunar impact crater that is located at the northern edge of the Mare Frigoris, due north of the prominent crater Aristoteles. Also to the south, but only a third as distant, is the smaller crater Sheepshanks. Due east of C. Mayer is the flooded crater Kane.
  C. Mayer is a relatively young formation, with a sharp-edged and well-defined outer rim. The rim is not quite circular, and appears somewhat polygonal-shaped with outward bulges along the edge, most notably to the west. The inner walls have a terrace system and the interior is somewhat rough and irregular. The central peak lies just to the north of the midpoint, and extends in a northerly direction.
  The lava-flooded formation C. Mayer D is attached to the southeastern rim of the crater, and a gap in the southeastern rim joins it to the Mare Frigoris. Thus the lunar mare extends up to the outer rampart of C. Mayer.
