A
view of the lunarscape at Station 4 (Shorty Crater) showing
Scientist-Astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt working at the lunar roving
vehicle
(LRV) during the second Apollo 17 extravehicular activity (EVA-2)
at the
Taurus-Littrow landing site. This is the area where Schmitt first
spotted
the orange soil. Orange soil is clearly visible on either side of
the
rover in this picture. Shorty Crater is to the right. The peak in
the
center background is Family Mountain. Portion of South Massif is
on the
horizon at the left edge.
