Phil's north polar projection nicely illustrates the rays emanating from that crater at a high northern latitude. Looks like in both polar regions we see (mostly from radar) some craters where ice is suspected.
I might be able to expand the usage of a Mariner 10 south polar region image in the map. However there are apparently other high resolution Mariner 10 images near the south pole that could be added. An example would be if I can find an image that looks similar to this link below without the labels (and projected from a spacecraft point of view). http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...alia_region.jpg Here is one such image mosaic that may work even if it's a bit contrasty looking: http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA03101 The Chao-Meng Fu (very close to the south pole) and Bernini craters region would be the most interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chao_Meng-Fu_(crater) So perhaps with these and other images if anyone can point to any I can improve the south polar appearance.
