Description
Hill-like elevation south of Apollo 16's landing site. Compared with Mons Hadley and Hadley Delta at the landing site of Apollo 15 or the North Massif and South Massif at the landing site of Apollo 17, Stone Mountain and Smoky Mountains at the site of Apollo 16 appear rather dull and unimpressive. On the other hand, the boulders which Apollo 16's astronauts John Young and Charles Duke investigated were of extraordinary proportions! (House Rock for example, aka Big Black Boulder). - DannyCaes Nov 26, 2016
