Which would be the most human situable place at Mercury to set up a base?
Mercury temperatures varies from −173 °C to 427 °C , though temperatures in the poles are always below −93 °C. To have a reference, the lowest recorded temperature in the Antarctica was -93°C . But Mercury has no atmosphere, so my assumption it is the impact of the heat transfer in a base there would be no greater to the one the International Space Station experiences. The ISS is at 121 C in the sun facing side and at -157°C at the dark side. Considering this assumption to be fairly right, Which would be the most human suitable place in Mercury to set up a human base , and specifically is there any region between the poles and the rest of the planet where the temperature would be closer to human habitats?
