Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The intersection of Shackleton - de Gerlache ridge and the rim of Shackleton crater is an area of high scientific interest (portion of NAC mosaic, 750 m wide, 89.684°S, 196.739°E). The white arrows point to larger (~8 m wide ) blocks that litter the surface and would be primary targets for geologic exploration. These blocks were likely ejected by the Shackleton impact event and might, thus, be pieces of lunar crust that could reveal the regional lithology, the age of Shackleton, and possibly also the age of the South Pole-Aitken basin. The yellow circle marks a relatively flat area that offers a direct line of sight onto the Shackleton crater floor. From this point, utilizing light reflected from the inner wall, a landed asset could conduct observations of the Shackleton PSR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
