The lunar south pole is one of the two polar regions on the Moon, with the other being the north pole.
It's an area of significant scientific interest due to its unique characteristics.
The south pole contains craters that are permanently shadowed, leading to extremely cold temperatures and the possibility of water ice accumulation in these cold traps.
These icy areas could potentially be valuable resources for future lunar exploration and even support future manned missions.
The south pole region has also been a focus for robotic missions and observations to learn more about its geology, topography, and potential resources.
