I thought there are some regions in the North Pole that are constantly illuminated. Presumably the temperature is significantly more stable in those regions.

- s1artibartfast 2y agoI don't think that is possible. You may be thinking of the bottoms of some craters, which are always in shadow.
- dredmorbius 2y agoSome craters have central peaks, and polar peaks might also be possible. Those should be in (near) constant solar exposure. The Astronomy Stack Exchange suggests both north- and south-polar locations, near Peary Crater (north) and Shackleton Crater (south): <https://astronomy.stackexchange.com/a/26110 https://astronomy.stackexchange.com/a/26110>
- ahazred8ta 2y agoApparently during part of the year the illumination is interrupted. But they're still lit most of the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_of_eternal_light https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_of_eternal_light
