The crater is located to the southeast of the Röntgen and the huge Lorentz walled plains. To the south-southwest lies the Bartels crater, and slightly further to the east is the western edge of the Oceanus Procellarum lunar mare.
The outer edge of this crater is only slightly worn, and the edge is still well-defined with only a few tiny craterlets lying along the southwest rim. A small crater is attached to the exterior edge of the rim to the southeast. The inner walls has a shelf or along the northern and western sides. The dark interior floor has been resurfaced by basaltic-lava, and it has the same low albedo as the lunar mare to the east.
Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Voskresenskiy crater.
