This map is based on data collected by the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) onboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). The map shows slopes derived from the LOLA 10-m elevation product (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center; Smith et al., 2010; Smith et al., 2017). The slope is represented with four traditional colors 0° to 5° (light green), 5° to 10° (bright green), 10° to 15° (dark green), 15° to 20° (yellow), and >20° (red). The map covers the region from latitude 85°S to the pole on the rim of Shackleton crater. Slope data are overlain on a derived hillshade with solar azimuth 45°W and solar elevation 45°.
