- Malinkin: 26.8° above the horizontal, 2.96 km away at azimuth 288°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.16 km away at azimuth 115°, 6.8° from the horizontal.

Peaks on the skyline
- 288° Malinkin, 2.96 km away, 26.8° high, 1,497 m above the ground here
A ray every 0.5 degrees out to 200 km across the NASA LRO LOLA terrain, the curvature of the Moon included; each peak is named only when an IAU feature's mapped footprint lies over the point that forms it. Smooth terrain between samples, no boulders.
