The highest peaks of the lunar Alps rise 4600 yards (4200 m) high, the average height of the peaks is 2600 yards (2400 m). Due to the distinctive crater Plato this 310 mile (500 km) long mountain range can easily be identified. The 80 mile (130 km) long and 6 mile (10 km) wide Alpine Valley divides the mountain range into two different halves. The western part of the Alps is a vast area with many individual mountain peaks, while a mountain range dominates the east.
