Stunningly detailed ShadowCam image of Shackleton Crater's shadowed rim and floor at the lunar south pole. A single boulder's track is marked by an arrow, revealing recent surface activity. This image, captured by NASA's ShadowCam aboard the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO), showcases the crater's permanently shadowed region, a potential reservoir of water ice. The scale bar indicates 100 meters.
