I found an interesting article from one of USMF member : Philip Stooke.

He points that one of the best place for man landing on the moon is on the South Pole - Aitken Basin .

Much of the area around the Moon's south pole is within the South Pole-Aitken Basin (shown at left in blue on a lunar topography image), a giant impact crater 1,550 miles (2,500 kilometers) in diameter and 7.5 miles (12 kilometers) deep at its lowest point. Many smaller craters exist on the floor of this basin. Many of those craters never see sunlight and are thought to contain water ice. Credit: NASA/National Space Science Data Center.

The ubication of South Pole-Aitken Basin ranges from around 6.49 degree South up to 27.65 degree south.

The above indexed colorful map looks it is located lower than 60 degree south.
