The Artemis II astronauts will be focusing on imaging certain features of the Moon during the flyby. E.g, the Orientale and Hetrzsprung Basins.

More info at https://science.nasa.gov/resource/artemis-ii-lunar-targeting-plan/

Note that most of the Moon has been imaged and mapped at sub-meter resolution by various orbiters over the past many years.
