Mons Pico is a solitary lunar mountain that lies in the northern part of the Mare Imbrium basin, and to the south of the prominent Plato crater. This peak forms part of the surviving inner ring of the imbrium basin. This ring continues to the northwest and with the Montes Teneriffe and Montes Recti ranges. This mountain feature was most likely named by Schröter for the Pico von Teneriffe. Lunar may refer to: an adjective that means having to do with or pertaining to the Moon, or to moons in general. ... Oblique view of Mare Imbrium looking south towards Copernicus crater. ... Plato is the maria-surfaced remains of a lunar impact crater. ... Montes Teneriffe is a range on the northern part of the Moons near side. ... Montes Recti is a mountain range on the northern part of the Moons near side. ... Johann Hieronymus Schröter (August 30, 1745 – August 29, 1816) was a German astronomer. ...
The selenographic coordinates of this peak are 45.7° N, 8.9° W. It forms an elongated feature with a length of 25 kilometers (oriented northwest-southeast) and a width of 15 km. The peak rises to a height of only 2.4 km, comparable to the maximum altitude of the Montes Teneriffe. Due to its isolated location on the lunar mare, however, this peak can form prominent shadows when illuminated by oblique sunlight. A kilometre (American spelling: kilometer) (symbol: km) is a unit of length equal to 1000 metres (from the Greek words khilia = thousand and metro = count/measure). ...

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 Mons Pico.

In human beings this consists of the labia majora and labia minora (while these names translate as "large" and "small" lips, often the "minora" can be larger, and protrude outside the "majora"), clitoris, opening of the urethra (meatus), and the opening of the vagina.
