A frame of the panoramic sequence taken by Irwin at station 10 on the edge of Hadley Canyon which was the last stop (for photography only) made by the astronauts before returning to the lunar module.

David Scott is carrying the Hasselblad with the 500mm telephoto lens in order to take panoramic photographs of the canyon.
The edge of Hadley canyon is in the left background. Behind Scott, the Rover has its high gain antenna pointed at Earth so that Mission Control can monitor the scene with the TV camera mounted on the Rover.

“I was surprised that time went so fast. We never had enough time. And, boy, we had trained to make sure we were efficient. And when we got there, we never had enough time to explore a site like we would have liked to. Because it was so exciting. There was so much there. And you just wanted more and more and more and more...” exclaimed David Scott (Chaikin, Voices, p. 96).

A superb frame from the panoramic sequence taken by Irwin at station 10.
Mount Hadley Delta with St George Crater at its foot are part of the front range of the Apennine mountains which rise 15,000 feet above the floor of the Sea of Rains. Rim crater (on the rim of Hadley Canyon) is in the foreground.

“It had a majestic feeling about it,” said Apollo 14 astronaut Alan Shepard. “And one says this after talking about how it’s dusty, it’s gray, nothing’s growing, nothing of any real beauty. But yet, take it all together with the vastness of it, the sense of history, the boulders, and the elevations we had on our flight and certainly some of the other flights, Hadley for example, it really is majestic, in the sense of a desolate mountain desert type of a setting” (Chaikin, Voices, p. 66).

“James Irwin, who had come to love the desert at Edwards air Force Base in California, later called the Moon the ‘ultimate desert’” (Light, plate 92).
