The rim of this crater is roughly circular, with a slight hexagonal appearance. There is some wear along the rim, particularly along the southwest where a pair of small craterlets lie next to the edge. The inner sides are unremarkable, and the interior floor is relatively level with a slight rise to the south of the midpoint. There is a tiny crater near the western inner wall.
This crater is sometimes listed as Ganskij, Hansky, or Hanskiy, but Ganskiy is the spelling recognized by the IAU.[1] The crater's name was approved in 1970.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Ganskiy.
