Bergstrand is a
lunarimpact crater that lies on the
far side of the
Moon. It is located just to the southeast of the prominent crater
Aitken, and northeast of the walled plain
Vertregt.
The rim of Bergstrand is roughly circular, except along the southwest where the larger satellite crater Bergstrand Q intrudes into the outer wall. With one small craterlet covering the southern rim, Bergstrand's outer wall is otherwise only slightly worn. There are a few small craterlets on the mostly flat interior floor.
Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Bergstrand.
