caption_attribution_description: English: Mons Pico (left of center), and Mons Pico Beta to southeast (right of center), Mare Imbrium, on the moon. Sun elevation 17 deg., spacecraft altitude 103 km.
context_page_description: Mons Pico is a solitary lunar mountain that lies in the northern part of the Mare Imbrium basin, to the south of the dark-floored crater Plato and on the southern rim of a ghost crater. This peak forms part of the surviving inner ring of the Imbrium basin, continuing to the northwest and with the Montes Teneriffe and Montes Recti ranges, and probably to the southeast with the Montes Spitzbergen. This mountain feature was most likely named by Schröter for the Pico von Teneriffe.
