The mountains consist of four primary ridges plus several smaller hills, each forming a small rise surrounded by the lunar mare. The cluster is centered at selenographic coordinates 26.9° N, 41.3° W, within a diameter of 93 km.[2] The formation is so-named because the peaks serve as the harbingers of dawn on the crater Aristarchus,[1] located to the southwest.

The flooded crater Prinz is located to the southwest.

Les Montes Harbinger (vers 27°N 41°O) sont un relief lunaire. C'est un ensemble de collines isolées sur la bordure orientale de la Mer des Pluies[1]. Son nom est dû au fait que ses sommets éclairés par le Soleil levant annoncent le début du jour dans le cratère Aristarchus[1].
