How is the moon's landscape described in the novel, Moonwind?

The lunar landscape is described vividly and accurately, depicting great jagged mountain ranges that jutt up against the black sky of prolonged night, and the chalky dust, which gives an eerie, parched softness to the flatlands.

It was not the loneliness of Wales, mountains and bog and the curlews calling. Out on Pen-y-van was a kind of peace and grandeur. But here on the Moon was a loneliness that terrified, a monstrous isolation.

Karen stayed silent, and he did too, seeing the sun strike the distant mountains, stark white peaks floating in utter blackness, unsupported islands beyond the Mare Vaporum, Sea of Mists. They were sharp and spectacular, etched against the sky — Mount Bradley, Mount Huygens, Mount Conon, Mount Ampere — white as bleached bone.

Gareth stared thoughtfully at the blue lunar landscape, the ink-black sky beyond the mountains where the sun dimmed the stars.
