Carlini is a small lunar impact crater located in the Mare Imbrium. The crater is bowl-shaped with a small central floor. It has a higher albedo than the surrounding "maria", making it prominent due to its isolated location. To the south is a wrinkle-ridge named "Dorsum Zirkel", and further south lies the Mons La Hire peak.
