Haworth is an impact crater that lies at the south pole region of the Moon.

[2] According to a 2015 study by Tye et al., Haworth was formed sometime during the Pre-Nectarian period, meaning it is at least 3.9 Ga (billion years) old.

[3] Due to Haworth's position near the lunar south pole, large amounts of the crater are permanently shadowed regions.

These regions are very cold; many are believed to never reach temperatures above 40 Kelvin, making Haworth colder than nearby craters such as Shackleton and Faustini.

[4] Haworth and its surrounding low-lying areas are home to frost, which may be partly caused by these particularly low temperatures.
