The start of EVA-3 at the LM. Note that Gene is not wearing a camera on his chest-mounted RCU. Jack is using Gene's camera to take the picture. ALSJFB reader Frank Bedal calls attention to an image of Earth reflect off the upper part of Gene's visor. Times used in the Apollo 17 Journal are relative to the planned time of launch, 02:53 UTC on 7 December 1972. This set of pictures was taken at 23:04 UTC on 13 December 1972.

Astronaut Eugene A. Cernan, mission commander, walks toward the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) during extravehicular activity (EVA) at the Taurus-Littrow landing site of NASA's sixth and final Apollo lunar landing mission. The photograph was taken by astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt, lunar module pilot. While astronauts Cernan and Schmitt descended in the Lunar Module (LM) "Challenger" to explore the Taurus-Littrow region of the moon, astronaut Ronald E. Evans, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) "America" in lunar orbit.
