James Irwin Two views of David Scott near the Lunar Rover at St George Crater, station 2, EVA 1 31 July 1971 Two vintage gelatin silver prints on fibre-based paper, each 25.4 x 20.3 cm (10 x 8 in), one BLACK NUMBERED NASA AS15-85-11451 in margin; [the second one NASA photo no AS15-85-11437] (NASA Manned Spacecraft Center) Footnotes: Station 2 near St George Crater was one of the most spectacular stations traversed during the Apollo missions. The Rover is parked near a meter-sized boulder sitting on the hillside about fifty meters above the Hadley-Apennine valley floor and offering a perfect site for sampling (first photograph). The location, on the edge of Hadley Rille, provided an extraordinary panorama toward the lunar canyon (second photograph). Thanks to the Rover-mounted TV camera, Scott and Irwin could share the view with watchers back on Earth, exulting over scenery long characterized as barren and drab.
