    A Valley Cut by a Scarp
    Apollo 17 astronauts Jack Schmitt and Gene Cernan explored the Taurus-Littrow Valley (center right). One of largest lobate scarps (cliffs) on the Moon, named Lee-Lincoln, crosses the valley. The scarp appears as the sharp, narrow line across the valley floor between South Massif and North Massif mountains. The astronauts drove up onto this scarp to investigate the rocks of South Massif.
