Near the beginning of their third and final excursion across the lunar surface, Schmitt took this picture of Cernan flanked by an American flag and their <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Roving_Vehicle" class="extiw" title="w:Lunar Roving Vehicle">lunar rover</a>'s umbrella-shaped high-gain antenna.
