Polar Regions of the Moon

The polar regions of the Moon, specifically the north and south poles, are areas of significant scientific interest because they may contain water ice in permanently shadowed craters. This ice could potentially support future lunar exploration and even serve as a resource for astronauts. The polar regions also experience extreme temperatures and have unique sunlight patterns, with some areas remaining dark for long periods. Studying these areas helps scientists learn more about the Moon's geology, history, and potential for sustaining human life in the future.
