The lunar polar regions are high-priority targets for scientific investigation and exploration. To aid these endeavors, we produced enhanced altimetry data from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter for the north polar region, from which we computed new maps of surface height and slope as well as topographic roughness on horizontal baselines of 100–1600 m.
