You reaction is understandable. Clavius is clearly not on the dark side of the moon because I have seen it for myself. Mare Moscoviense is on the dark side of the moon (*)
Anyway, there is no dark side of the moon really. As a matter of fact, it is all dark (+).
* In the same sense as Africa used to be the dark continent.
+ According to Pink Floyd. As the albedo is roughly the same as that of tarmac they make a good case IMO.
