List of mountains on the Moon

Caveats

• This list is not comprehensive, as surveying of the Moon is a work in progress.
• Heights are in meters; most peaks have not been surveyed with the precision of a single meter.
• Mountains on the Moon have heights and elevations/altitudes defined relative to various vertical datums, each in turn defined relative to the center of mass of the Moon.
• : — the U.S. Army Mapping Service datum was established 1,737,988 meters from the CoM.
• : — the U.S. Defense Mapping Agency used 1,730,000 meters.
• : — The Clementine topographic data use 1,737,400 meters as the baseline, and show a range of about 18,100 meters from lowest to highest point on the Moon.
• This is not a list of the highest places on the Moon, meaning those farthest from the CoM. Rather, it is a list of peaks at various heights relative to the relevant datum. This is because the Moon has mass asymmetries: the highest point, located on the far side of the Moon, is approximately 6,500 meters higher than Mons Huygens.
