southern?[edit]

At this latitude the crater interior receives little sunlight, and parts of the southern floor remain permanently cloaked in shadow.

"southern floor" could be rephrased for better clarity. I assume it means "the southern part of the crater floor"? —Tamfang (talk) 02:00, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is what was intended; the region of the floor most distant from the direction of the north lunar pole and hence the most shaded by the rim. Thanks. Regards, RJH (talk) 18:48, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
