February 6, 1971

Some shots from EVA-2 during the Apollo 14 mission, including a nice image of “Turtle Rock,” so named for the turtle-like rock sitting atop a boulder in the Fra Mauro Highlands. 

Apollo 14 landed in the Frau Mauro Highlands after Apollo 13 failed to reach it, due to a failure in the Command Service Module’s oxygen tanks.
