  Shackleton (crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Shackleton crater lies at the south pole of the Moon.
This suggests that the crater floors could potentially be "mined" for deposits of hydrogen in water form, a commodity that is expensive to deliver directly from the Earth.
About 120 kilometers from the crater lies the 5-km-tall Malapert Mountain, a peak that is perpetually visible from the Earth, and which could serve as a radio relay station when suitably equipped.

 Fram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fram ("Forward") was a ship used in expeditions in the Arctic and Antarctic regions by the Norwegian explorers Fridtjof Nansen, Otto Sverdrup, Oscar Wisting, and Roald Amundsen between 1893 and 1912.
In 1898, Otto Sverdrup led a scientific expedition to the Canadian Arctic islands.
The ship was left to decay in storage between 1912 and the late 1920s, when Lars Christensen, Otto Sverdrup and Oscar Wisting initiated efforts to preserve her.

 Sverdrup, Otto - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Sverdrup, Otto
The manner in which Sverdrup navigated the Fram home through the sea ice was warmly praised in Nansen's Farthest North (1897).
In 1914–15 Sverdrup led an expedition to the Kara Sea for the relief of the Russian explorer Brusilov, and in 1920 he went to the rescue of the Russian icebreaker Solovei, which was icebound in the Kara Sea.

Of the craters on Earth, most are probably due to impacts of Earth-crossing asteroids, however from 10 to 30% of the craters greater than 10 km in diameter are probably due to comet nuclei (Weissman, 1982, 1990b; Shoemaker, 1983; Shoemaker et al., 1990).
If the object impacts the ocean, a crater may not be discernable; large quantities of matter would be ejected from both the impactor and impacted region into the atmosphere.
The extent of impact craters predicted for large bodies is great: for the impact at the K-T boundary, Sharpton et al.

Fram ("Forward") was a ship used in expions in the Arctic and Antarctic regions by the Norwegian explorers Fridtjof Nansen, Otto Sverdrup, and Roald Amundsen between 1893 and 1912.
Fram was probably the strongest wooden ship ever built; it was originally designed by the Norwegian shipwright Colin Archer for Fridtjof Nansen's 1893 Arctic expion in which the intent was to let Fram freeze into the Arctic ice sheet and float through the ice sheet via the North Pole.
In 1898, Otto Sverdrup led a scientific expion to the Canadian Arctic islands.
