Nijland is a relatively small impact crater on the far side of the Moon. This is a relatively isolated crater that is surrounded by impacted surface with smaller craters. The nearest significant crater is Kurchatov to the northeast. More than 100 km the north of Nijland is a crater chain that runs from the south of Kurchatov towards the west-northwest. This chain is designated Catena Kurchatov.
This is a roughly circular, bowl-shaped crater with a slight outward bulge along the western face. Although worn, the rim edge remains well-defined and is not overlain by any significant impacts. The interior floor is about half the crater diameter, and there are only a few tiny craterlets marking the surface.
Nijland is a village in Súdwest-Fryslân in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. As of January 1, 2007, it had 1038 residents: 537 men and 501 women.
