Kamerlingh Onnes is alunarimpact crater on thefar side of theMoon. It lies less than a crater diameter to the north-northwest of the craterKolhörster. North of Kamerlingh Onnes liesShternberg and to the northwest isWeyl.
This is a worn and eroded crater formation that is slightly elongated along the east–west direction, giving it a somewhat oval shape. A number of small craters lie along the rim, particularly along the northern side. The interior floor is marked only by a few small craterlets, and someray material from the craterOhm to the northeast.
