TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an overview of the regional morphology of comet 67P/C-G and used the images that were acquired at orbits ~20-30 km from the center of the comet to distinguish different regions on the surface and introduce the basic regional nomenclature adopted by all papers in this issue that address the comet morphology and surface processes.
