Apollo 17 Commander Eugene Cernan holds the lower end of the double core tube, containing Sample No. 70031, up to the RCA Ground-Commanded Television Assembly (GCTA) mounted to the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV). Cernan had just collected and extracted the core tubes at Geology Station No. 3, near Lara Crater during the crew’s second Extravehicular Activity (EVA) in the Taurus Littrow valley.

South Massif is in the distance.
The slightly irregular upper outline of the rover’s right rear fender is due to the Astronauts’ makeshift repair to it. Even the angular shape of the LM clamp used to facilitate the repair is discernible.
