Radio interferometry is a new technique for the measurement of the surface topography of the Moon. Elevation data may be obtained directly without regard for unambiguously-identified features, for any lunar surface element that yields a recognizable radar echo. A program has been undertaken at the Haystack Observatory for the topographic mapping of the major part of the lunar Earthside hemisphere. Some results are presented for the Alphonsus-Arzachel region, showing evidence for a late lava flow of a viscosity and, hence, presumably a chemical composition, differing from that of near-by mare surfaces.
