The Lunar Prospector discovery of areas of neutron suppression and the subsequent interpretation of hydrogen enrichment near the lunar poles brought the possibility of volatile resources sequestered at the poles to the forefront of the lunar science community.

Analysis of UV observations gathered by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Diviner instrument are consistent with the presence of surface frost in some PSRs with temperatures below 110 K.
