Geological Chronicle
Montes Teneriffe is a mountain range in the northern region of Mare Imbrium, southwest of the crater Plato. Named after Tenerife in the Canary Islands by William Radcliffe Birt, the range spans a diameter of 111.98 kilometers. Although the range covers a broad area, its peaks occupy only a small portion of that footprint, rising as isolated ridges surrounded by lunar mare.
Individual peaks within Montes Teneriffe rise to heights of up to 2.4 kilometers above the surrounding mare. Mons Pico lies to the southeast of the range, while Montes Recti is located to the west. The formation consists of four main island-like sections, including a central ridge running east to west and satellite elevations designated by Greek letters.
The exact positions of the range's ridges and peak features appear on Lunar Astronautical Charts LAC 12, LAC 24, and LAC 25 from 1966 and 1967. The feature sits within the Cassini quadrangle.
