A frame from the panoramic sequence taken by Cernan uphill from the Lunar Rover at station 7 on the slope of the North Massif, 3.2 km away from the LM.

Schmitt is working at the Rover and changing his Hasselblad’s magazine.
Footprints made by the astronauts are visible as well as tracks made by the Lunar Rover.
The view looks toward the Valley of Taurus-Littrow with the East Massif in the background.
