Here the astronauts performed radial sampling, gathered documented samples, and performed panoramic photography.Station 2 near St George Crater was one of the most spectacular stations traversed during the Apollo missions. The Rover was 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. 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.
