SP-424 The Voyage of Mariner 10

 

Fig. A-11. Continuing southward, this mosaic shows the South polar region in great detail; the south pole of Mercury is within the shadowed crater one-quarter of the way from the bottom of the right-hand edge of the mosaic. Two mountain tops gleam as tiny spots within the crater. Three large double-ring basins are between 150 and 200 km in diameter. Alongside them, smooth plains contain many ridges and scarps.
