Eponym John Dollond

Dollond is a small lunar impact crater that is located in the central region of the Moon, to the north of the crater Abulfeda. Due west of Dollond is Anděl. Dollond is circular and cone shaped, with a tiny floor at the mid-point of the sloping interior walls.

About 50 kilometers to the northeast of this crater was the landing site of the Apollo 16 mission, the next-to-last of the Apollo expeditions to the Moon.
