About Amundsen
Amundsen is a large lunar impact crater located near the south pole of the Moon. This crater is named after the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen (1872–1928). It lies along the southern lunar limb, and so is viewed from the side by an observer on the Earth. The crater designation was formally adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 1964. Earlier, the name was proposed to the IAU by amateur selenographer H. P. Wilkins, but was rejected.
