Mare Humboldtianum (Latin ''humboldtiānum'', the "Sea of Alexander von Humboldt") is a lunar mare located just to the east of Mare Frigoris, in the center of Humboldtianum basin. It is located along the northeastern limb of the Moon, and continues on to the Far side (Moon), far side. Due to its location, the visibility of this feature can be affected by libration, and on occasion it can be hidden from view from Earth. The basin material is of the Nectarian epoch (geology), epoch, with the mare material being of the Upper Imbrian epoch (3.4–3.7 Ga). The lighter gray area to the southeast of the dark mare material is a region of hills within the basin. The rim of this basin forms a mountain range that can be seen under oblique lighting conditions. This mare is centered at 56.9° N, 81.5° E, and its maximal size is 230 km. However the surrounding basin extends for a diameter of over 600 km. The walled plain Bel'kovich (crater), Bel'kovich spills over the northwester ...
