De Gerlache is a lunar crater that is located along the southern limb of the Moon, within a crater diameter of the Shackleton crater at the south pole. From the Earth this crater is seen from the edge, and it lies in perpetual darkness. Thus little or no detail can be seen of this crater, other than the edge of the rim. The crater is roughly circular, with some slight wear. No craters of note overlay the rim, although some formations may be attached to the southern and western edges.
