MORETUS
Directory - Section 73

BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The South Pole of the Moon lies in the center of the bottom edge of the Section. Observation of the area close to the pole is very difficult and some parts are constantly hidden behind hills and crater walls. Space probes have yet to map this region in detail. Refer to your copy of the Antonin Rukl lunar atlas chart, page 173.
