a14_r_bw_o_KPP (AS14-64-9089, auto)

A frame from Alan Shepard's Station B1 pan, showing Ed Mitchell studying the traverse map. This is one of the better known pictures taken during Apollo. Ed has turned, but is still trying to puzzle out where they are. This photograph is symbolic of the traverse as a whole. We can see Ed's camera handle and his tongs tethered on his left hip.

Astronaut Edgar D. Mitchell, lunar module pilot, moves across the lunar surface as he looks over a traverse map during an extravehicular activity (EVA). Lunar dust can be seen clinging to the boots and legs of the space suit. Astronauts Alan B. Shepard Jr., commander, and Mitchell explored the lunar surface while astronaut Stuart A. Roosa, command module pilot, orbited the moon in the Command and Service Modules (CSM).
