The lunar poles feature a mini-environment that is almost entirely unknown to planetary scientists. Hermite crater (104 km, diameter) is an impact crater located close to the north pole of the Moon. Some of the portions are permanently shadowed regions including the coldest place in the solar system. This region was studied using high resolution data sets of TMC images and LOLA topography, recently acquired by Chandrayaan-1 and Lunar Reconnaissance orbiter (LRO) respectively. Age of the Hermite crater was determined by crater size frequency technique using TMC images, which is about 3.91 Ga (~Nectarian age). Morphology/ morphometry of the crater is also studied using high resolution LOLA topography data.
