A permanently shadowed crater refers to a lunar or planetary crater where sunlight never reaches the floor due to the angle of the solar rays and the geometry of the crater's walls. On bodies like the Moon, there are regions near the poles where the Sun never rises high enough in the sky to illuminate certain areas of the surface.
