Som ET - 45 - Moon - Apollo 17 - Shorty Crater - Video 3

Gene took this pan from the east rim of Shorty Crater moments before he and Jack left for their next geology stop. The area where the crew discovered and sampled a deposit of orange soil, rich in pyroclastic material, is between the Rover and the large boulder just beyond it.
