From the phenomenal ALSJ site: "Gene took this photo on the orbit before final descent. On the final approach, Gene flew Challenger down over the Sculptured Hills (low, knobby hills in sunlight just right of frame center) and out over the valley floor before landing a little north of the Trident group of craters. The CSM with Ron Evans can be seen in the left distance with the South Massif in the background. Henry is the furthermost of the three largish craters at the foot of the North Massif to the right." The labeled version: www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a17/a17.22465lbl.jpg identifies a few other features.
