Mons Delisle is a mountain on the Moon, located on the edge of Mare Imbrium west of the crater Delisle. It is elongated in shape and is about 30 kilometres (19 mi) long. The mountain was named after the nearby crater of the same name by the IAU in 1985.[1]
Southeast of the mountain is Rima Diophantus and southeast is its crater, Artsimovich and Fedorov are to the south and west are the wrinkly ridges of Dorsa Argand and Dorsum Bucher, a portion divides the lunar mare with Oceanus Procellarum.
