Harrison Schmitt was the first (and last) scientist-astronaut to land on the Moon.
The lunar Module landed in a highland and valley area. They were looking for the youngest rocks, and also evidence of Lunar volcanoes.
The sampling trips, using the Rover, included finding one crater which had orange soil. The sixth scientific station was set up.
