This is a catalog of all pictures taken from the lunar module or the lunar surface during the Apollo 16 lunar stay with electric Hasselblad cameras on 70 mm film. A few pictures were taken from lunar orbit on Magazine A. These are not listed in the tabulations.
The Apollo 16 landing site in the lunar central highlands encompassed terra plains and adjacent mountainous areas of hilly and furrowed terra. These morphologic units, representing important terrane types in the lunar highlands, had been interpreted as volcanic on most premission geologic maps. However, it became apparent during the mission that there are indeed few or no volcanic rocks or landforms at the site but rather that the area is underlain by a wide variety of impact-generated breccias.
