Description
Together with Stone Mountain south of Apollo 16's landing site these so-called "mountains" are just hill-like elevations.
Not very impressive appearances on Apollo 16's Hasselblad photographs!
Sort of anticlimax, especially when these so-called "mountains" are compared with the steep Mount Hadley and Hadley Delta of Apollo 15, or North Massif and South Massif of Apollo 17. - DannyCaes DannyCaes Nov 26, 2016
