South side of the moon, geologic map
South side of the moon. Geologic map of the moon based on data collected from the Lunar orbiter, Mariner 10 and Zond 7 spacecraft. Regions are coloured according to reflectivity and correspond to surface features, such as major impact craters, basins, plains, faults, mountains and other landmarks. The upper half of the moon in this view is the near-Earth side and the lower half is the far side of the moon. The lunar south pole (centre middle) does not receive as much sunlight as the lunar north pole. It is thought that permanently unlit craters in this region may hold water ice.
