Montes Jura is a mountain range in the northwest part of the near side of the Moon.
Diameter of 422 km, with mountains rising to approximately 3800m above the level of Sinus Iridum.

Blunt edges are the most attractive feature for me in this mountain ranges, also the curve it has depict crescent moon. There are few small craters around.
