<dl><dd>The LM ascent stage approaches rendezvous above rugged highland terrain east of the Foaming Sea.  The LM conceals terrain near latitude 1° S, longitude 70° E, in this view westward across heavily cratered highlands between Smyth's Sea and the Sea of Fertility.  High Sun illumination enhances the albedo difference. At the horizon, smooth mare deposits in the northeastern Sea of Fertility are broken by ridges and craters northwest of the Crater Langrenus.</dd></dl>
