1971年2月5日,阿波罗14号的登月舱安塔瑞斯登陆月球。在任务即将结束时,宇航员埃德·米切尔从窗口向外看,拍下了一系列月球表面的照片,这些照片由《阿波罗月球表面杂志》编辑埃里克·琼斯精心拼接而成。在阿波罗14号宇航员完成第二次也是最后一次在月球上行走后,从弗拉毛罗高地眺望着陆点的西北部。前景突出的是他们的模块化设备运输车,这是一种两轮的、类似人力车的设备,用于运输工具和样品。靠近地平线的顶部中心是一块1.5米宽的巨石,被称为龟岩。在海龟岩下面的浅坑里,有一个采样仪器的白色长柄,是米切尔像标枪一样扔进去的。米切尔的月球漫步者、第一位进入太空的美国人艾伦·谢泼德(Alan Shepard)也用一个临时的6号铁杆打了两个高尔夫球。谢泼德的一个高尔夫球在米切尔的标枪下面的一个白点刚好可见。

Apollo 14's Lunar Module Antares landed on the Moon on February 5, 1971. Toward the end of the stay astronaut Ed Mitchell snapped a series of photos of the lunar surface while looking out a window, assembled into this detailed mosaic by Apollo Lunar Surface Journal editor Eric Jones. The view looks across the Fra Mauro highlands to the northwest of the landing site after the Apollo 14 astronauts had completed their second and final walk on the Moon. Prominent in the foreground is their Modular Equipment Transporter, a two-wheeled, rickshaw-like device used to carry tools and samples. Near the horizon at top center is a 1.5 meter wide boulder dubbed Turtle rock. In the shallow crater below Turtle rock is the long white handle of a sampling instrument, thrown there javelin-style by Mitchell. Mitchell's fellow moonwalker and first American in space, Alan Shepard, also used a makeshift six iron to hit two golf balls. One of Shepard's golf balls is just visible as a white spot below Mitchell's javelin.
