David Scott A pair of Hadley-Apennine landing site views as photographed from the top hatch of the Lunar Module after touchdown, and during the first and the only stand-up EVA from the top hatch of the Lunar Module ever performed on the Moon 31 July 1971 Two vintage gelatin silver prints on fibre-based paper, each 25.4 x 20.3 cm (10 x 8 in), BLACK NUMBERED NASA AS15-85-11363 and AS15-85-11379 in top margins (NASA Manned Spacecraft Center) Footnotes: Two very rare frames showing two major features of the Hadley-Apennine landing site: the giant Mount Hadley (4,500m) whose summit is barely visible (top right, first photograph) due to the long shadow of the lunar morning and St George Crater on the flank of mount Hadley Delta (second photograph). Following touchdown, Scott and Irwin gave the scientists in Houston a thorough description of the surrounding moonscape and, rather than restricting themselves to the views out the forward-facing windows, they donned helmets and gloves for what was known as a 'Stand-up EVA'. They bled all the air out of the cabin then Scott opened the overhead hatch. Standing on the ascent engine cover with his upper body outside the spacecraft and bracing himself in the opening he took a series of pictures all the way round the horizon with the Hasselblad 70-mm camera.
