Pico Mons (Absolute Natural Colors; credits: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)
Mons Pico is a solitary Lunar Mountain that lies in the Northern part of the Mare Imbrium Basin, and to the South of the Dark-Floored Crater Plato. 
Pico's peak forms part of the surviving Inner Ring of the Imbrium Basin. This Ring continues to the North-West, with the Montes Teneriffe and Montes Recti ranges. This mountain feature was most likely named by Schröter for the Pico von Teneriffe.

The Selenographic Coordinates of this Peak are 45,7° North Lat. and 8,9° West Longitude. It forms an elongated feature with a length of about 25 Km (oriented N/W-S/E) and a width of approx. 15 Km. The Peak rises to a height of only 2,4 Km, comparable to the maximum altitude of the Montes Teneriffe. 

Due to its isolated location on the Lunar Mare Imbrium, however, this Peak can form prominent shadows when illuminated by oblique sunlight. Also, a  smaller Peak to the South of Mons Pico (designated "Pico B") can be found. This Region of the Mare Imbrium is also notable for a number of Wrinkle Ridges.
