Geologic History of the Amundsen Crater Region Near the Lunar South Pole: Basis for Future Exploration

Geologic History of the Amundsen Crater Region Near the Lunar South Pole: Basis for Future Exploration

We provide the first detailed 1:100,000 scale geomorphologic map of the ∼100 km Amundsen crater region, which is of high scientific relevance for future exploration, e.g., NASA’s VIPER mission, the Artemis program, and the Chinese International Lunar Research Station. We investigated the complex geo...
