The lunar south polar region gets more attention than the north pole area because the topography is more dramatic. But, as this excerpt from Dmitry's [http://www.makolkin.ru/Gallery/100325/Moon_100325_TAL-250K_DMK31.html mosaic] illustrates, there are interesting topo details in the north too. The basic character of the landscape is different - it is flatter because most of the craters are partially filled with basin ejecta from Imbrium. Only a few post-Imbrium craters are conspicuous, including Scoresby (center top) and Anaxagoras (left) with rays radiating away to the east. When I am observing this area I get my bearings using the distinctive conjoined twins Challis and Main, just poleward of Scoresby. Despite the north pole's lack of large permanently shadowed craters there appears to be much [[March_2,_2010|more ice]] there than in the more visually dramatic opposite pole.<br /><br />
