India's Chandrayaan-3 and Russia's Luna-25 are both on track to land on the Moon's South Pole in the coming days. The successful landing of either mission would be a major milestone for lunar exploration, and would help to pave the way for future missions to the region. The Moon's South Pole is thought to be rich in water ice, which is a valuable resource for future human exploration of the Moon.
