Geological Chronicle
Mons Esam is a small, isolated mountain situated in the northern part of Mare Tranquillitatis. Positioned southeast of Vitruvius crater and west-northwest of Lyell crater, it lies southwest of the bay called Sinus Amoris. The peak rises roughly 400 meters above the surrounding plains over a base diameter of 8 kilometers.
Geologically, the mountain is a lunar cone formed through tectonic processes. Located at selenographic coordinates 14.6° N, 35.7° E, the feature derives its name from an Arabic masculine name that was not chosen to represent a specific individual.
Just to the south of Mons Esam, a pair of tiny craters assigned names by the International Astronomical Union sit atop two lunar domes. These structures are most likely volcanoes not formed by impacts.
