LO-V-105M Mons Hadley Delta is the roughly circular mountain mass just below center, with the 2-km [/St.%20George St. George] crater on its northwest flank, and the flat plains of [/Palus%20Putredinis Palus Putredinis] beyond. The rille snaking across the plain is a small part of [/Rima%20Hadley Rima Hadley], and the [/Apollo%2015%20Site Apollo 15 Site] is to its right. Around the landing site, the [/South%20Cluster South Cluster] of craters and the unexplored [/North%20Complex North Complex] (with its suspected volcanic extrusions) are easily recognized; as is (on the opposite side of [/Rima%20Hadley Rima Hadley]) the elongated trough of 2-km [/Julienne Julienne] (near the center left margin).
