Crater of eternal darkness
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
A crater of eternal darkness is a point on a body within the Solar System which is always in darkness. Such a peak must have low altitude, and be on a body with very small axial tilt.
Shackleton Crater as imaged by Earth-based radar is one such crater.
Craters of eternal darkness would be advantageous for space exploration and colonization, as it could preserve natural water.
