Krusenstern is a lunar crater that lies amidst the battered terrain in the southern part of the Moon's near side. Nearly attached to the east-southeast rim is the Apianus crater. Less than a crater diameter to the southwest is the prominent Werner crater. Krusenstern is intruding into a large circular plain to the north designated 'Playfair G'. Playfair crater lies to the northeast. Latitude, denoted by the Greek letter φ, gives the location of a place on Earth north or south of the Equator. ...

The outer rim of this formation has been heavily worn by impact erosion, leaving an irregular ring of rising ridges and an inner wall incised by impacts. A joined pair of craters, including 'Krusenstern A', lie along the eastern rim. The interior floor of Krusenstern is a nearly featureless plain, marked only by a few tiny craterlets.

Satellite craters

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 Krusenstern crater.
