R1: Montes Recti appears as a long line of all mountains with several segments - all separate, rising tall from the floor of Mare Imbrium. There are several lower rises at the base of the taller mountains. Montes Recti is located near Plato, Montes Teneriffe and Sinus Iridum. The surrounding mare floor looks very smooth.
