Welcome to the image collection dedicated to the unique and distinctive features of the lunar landscape! If you are looking for high-quality photographs of the Moon's surface, here you will find numerous images available for free use. The lunar landscape is a geographical and geological set of forms characteristic of Earth's natural satellite — the Moon.

The main features of the lunar landscape include vast plains called maria, which are basins flooded by ancient lava flows, as well as numerous craters of various diameters and depths formed by collisions with meteoroids and asteroids. These craters often have well-defined rims, central peaks, and concentric structures that reflect the history of impact processes.

The lunar landscape also includes mountain ranges and elevations formed as a result of major impacts, as well as scattered rocky formations and numerous cracks and grooves — ridges and furrows that appeared due to tectonic activity or cooling of rocks. Unlike earthly landscapes, the lunar terrain lacks signs of atmospheric erosion, water, or vegetation.

This unique landscape is characterized by the purity of form and preservation of many ancient geological features due to the absence of air and water atmosphere and weather phenomena. Its physical characteristics include sharp height differences, surface roughness, and the predominance of solid basaltic rocks. The lunar landscape is a living record of the Solar System's events, allowing the study of planetary evolution processes.

Images of the lunar landscape can range from panoramas of open plains to detailed shots of individual craters, ridges, and rocky areas. They also cover different lunar regions — both those visible from Earth and the far side, which is less explored and more mysterious. Regardless of scale, such images serve as a useful tool for scientific analysis and educational purposes.
