Crater characteristics
Coordinates	71.3° N, 7.7° E
Diameter	92 km
Depth	3.2 km
Colongitude	355° at sunrise
Eponym	Isaac Barrow

Barrow is an old lunar crater that is located near the northern limb of the Moon. It lies between Goldschmidt crater to the northwest and the irregular Meton crater formation to the northeast. To the southwest is the W. Bond crater remnant.

The outer wall of Barrow crater has been heavily eroded by subsequent impacts, and reshaped by intruding craters. As a result the rim now resembles a ring of rounded hills and peaks surrounding the flat interior. The younger satellite crater 'Barrow A' lies across the southwest rim. At the eastern end of the crater is a narrow gap in the rim that joins the floor to the adjacent Meton crater. The rim achieves its maximum height and extend in the northwest, where it is joined to Goldschmidt crater.

The interior of Barrow crater has been resurfaced by lava flows, leaving a flat surface that is marked by many tiny craterlets. Faint traces of ray material from the Anaxagoras crater to the west forms streaks across the floor of Barrow.

Satellite craters

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Barrow crater.
