Description

Apollo 17 Hasselblad image from film magazine 149/KK - Lunar Orbit, LM Rendezvous.
This photo was used in Figure 4-42 of the Apollo 17 Preliminary Science Report (SP-330, 1973), which has the following caption:

This photograph of a segment of the eastern wall and floor of Aitken (fig. 4-41) was exposed in the Hasselblad camera with a 250-mm lens. North is at the top (left) of the photograph. The topographic features on the crater floor that resemble the wrinkle ridges common in lunar maria can be seen to continue into and across the hummocky, higher albedo material of the lower crater wall.

Part of this photo was used in Figure 32-11 of the same report, which has the following caption:

Detail of the eastern part of the floor of Aitken Crater. Numerous flow scarps and ridges are displayed in the dark mare-like unit. One is clearly related to a breach in the crater in the upper left corner of the photograph. A few of the scarps appear to lap up against the lower part of the crater wall. A large and discontinuous scarp is present at a higher level on the southeastern wall of the same crater. This large scarp is probably unrelated to those in the floor.
