White is a lunar impact crater. It lies on the far side of the Moon from the Earth, to the southwest of the huge Apollo walled plain. About a crater diameter to the south-southwest is the small Hendrix crater.

This is a relatively fresh crater with a well-defined rim and interior that have not been significantly worn. There is a small, cup-shaped crater attached to the exterior along the western edge. The inner wall of White crater displays some slight , and there is a low central ridge near the mid-point of the interior.
