Summaryedit
The picture on the left is the radar image of Mercury's north pole mapped from the Arecibo Observatory. The yellow regions are believed to be ice, showing high radar reflectivity. The picture on the right has the left radar image superimposed on the mosaic of images of the north pole from the MESSENGER spacecraft. It clearly shows that the radar reflectivity is high in the craters that are permanently shaded from the Sun.
