BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The limb area of the Moon adjacent to the south pole is densely covered
by craters and large walled plains. The terrain is mountainous and the foreshortening
close to the Moon's limb and deep shadows make observation and mapping of
this area very difficult. The same applies to the limb regions on Sections
73 and 74. Refer to your Atonin Rukl lunar chart, page 171.
