- An assembled panorama by Mike Constantine shows the North Massif (left half of pan), the shadowed Wessex Cleft (centre), CDR Gene Cernan and the Lunar Roving Vehicle in front of the Sculptured Hills (right of centre), and the East Massif (extreme right).
- AS17-144-21991 is a remarkable 500 mm Hasselblad of two boulder tracks on North Massif. See also page 297 of the article Exploring Taurus-Littrow in the National Geographic of september 1973, which shows a fragment (the boulder tracks) on photograph AS17-147-22549 (High Resolution!)
