The illumination conditions of the lunar south pole are investigated using a geometrically adjusted, 20 m/pixel Digital Terrain Model (DTM) from laser tracks of the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA). Several comparisons with Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) images have been made to cross-validate the re...
