We produced a new higher-resolution topographic map of Mercurys south polar region (75-90 South, covering ~1.3 million km2) by using data collected by the NASA MESSENGER spacecrafts Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS; Hawkins et al, 2007) over the years 2011-2015. This new map enables, e.g., the first detailed modeling of illumination and thermal conditions in these southern radar-bright locations and the first constraints on the nature and history of volatiles residing there, but it is also intended as a resource for other geophysical analyses and for the preparation of the BepiColombo mission, currently en-route to the planet. For more details, please visit https://pgda.gsfc.nasa.gov/products/88. Products: DEM (interpolated), DEM (filled), Slopes, PSR masks All these files (except the PSR masks shapefile) are 250 m/pix GeoTiffs with south polar stereographic X/Y coords in meters.
