R1: Zagut had the large central Zagut A on its floor and Zagut E on its east wall. Rabbi Levi had 5 craters in its western floor plus numerous others on its eastern wall. Lindenau had 2 peaks split by a rille; its western wall appeared terraced/slumped almost to the peaks.

R2: The circular Rothman was located northeast of the trio craters and had a central peak plus steep walls.

Celsius was west of the three, forming a triangle with Zagut and Rabbi Levi. Besides the north crater on its floor, there appeared to be other structures such as rilles on its north floor. Every wall of Celsius appears to have small craters.
