Egede is the remains of a lunar crater that has been flooded by lava, leaving only the somewhat polygonal circumference of the rim protruding just above the mare. It is located on the southern edge of the Mare Frigoris, to the west of the crater Aristoteles. To the southwest is an arc of low mountains curving between the rims of Aristoteles and Eudoxus. The floor of Egede is flat and nearly featureless, except for a few tiny craterlets. The surviving rim has a maximum altitude of 0.4 km above the surface.

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 Egede.
