Additional Information

The Landing Site Name "South Massif" is plotted on Topophotomap 43D1/S1 and Site Traverses chart 43D1S2.

Nomenclature

Astronaut-named feature, Apollo 17 site.
As seen from Apollo 17's site at the floor of the Taurus-Littrow valley (from the actual landing site of LM Challenger), the location of the South Massif is west-southwest, and not south. The mountain mass which is located south (or rather south-southeast) is Mons Vitruvius.- DannyCaes Feb 10, 2013
