Summary

Description
English: 70mm Hasselblad camera black and white orbital photos. This oblique view includes the irregular mare patch called Ina, which was referred to as the "D-caldera" during the Apollo era.

Latitude / Longitude: 18.7° N / 4.8° E
Part of this photo was used in Figure 30-12 (c) of the Apollo 17 Preliminary Science Report (SP-330, 1973), which has the following caption:

Three views of the D-shaped feature. (a) Dark patches atop highland units have flow scarps and mare ridge structures (right of center) and collapse depressions and flow channels (left edge) similar to basaltic lava flow. The straight part of the D-shaped structure (circled) is 3 km long (Apollo 17 metric camera frame AS17-1822). (b) Low-Sun-angle view of the area surrounding the D-shaped structure, showing the dome that encircles it (Apollo 17 metric camera frame AS17-1237). (c) The small, bulbous domes in the floor of the D-shaped depression are shown in this view taken during the Apollo 17 mission using the Hasselblad camera with very-high-speed black-and-white film. The dome that encircles the structure displays fewer craters than does the surrounding mare surface (AS17-154-23672).
