Bergstrand is an impact crater on the back of the moon, which is invisible from Earth . It is located southeast of the large Aitken crater and northeast of the Vertregt whale plain .
The edge of Bergstrand is approximately circular with the exception of the southwest, where the comparatively large satellite crater Bergstrand Q penetrates the outer wall. Otherwise, the crater rim shows only minor traces of erosion apart from a tiny crater that overlays the southern rim. The bottom of the crater is fairly flat and has only a few tiny craters.
