Summary
| Description |
English: Radar image of Mercury's north polar region acquired by the Arecibo Observatory (yellow areas denote regions of high radar reflectivity) is shown superposed on a mosaic of MESSENGER images of the same area. All of the larger polar deposits are located on the floors or walls of impact craters. Deposits farther from the pole are seen to be concentrated on the north-facing sides of craters. |
