Solution

The lunar highlands are the oldest part of the lunar surface. This is evident from the heavy cratering found in these areas. The highlands are not the darker regions of the Moon seen with the naked eye, those are the mare. The mare are younger and less heavily cratered. The highlands are not specifically found on the Moon's northern hemisphere, they are distributed across the Moon.
