Abstract In this paper, we analyze the illumination conditions, the thermal regime, and the possibility of deposits of volatile compounds existing in the vicinity region (NSR S5 region) near the southern pole of the Moon. It has been found that there are no permanently shadowed zones near the Scott crater and the NSR S5 region, though the temperature conditions allow the of compounds such as $ CH_{3} $OH, $ SO_{2} $, $ NH_{3} $, $ CO_{2} $, $ H_{2} $S, $ C_{2} $$ H_{4} $, and water to remain stable relative to evaporation for a long time (≥1 Gyr). It has been also shown that compounds like CO and $ CH_{4} $ cannot stably exist in these regions.
