These extremely rare unreleased photographs from the Apollo 15 mission reveal stunning details of the lunar surface taken by the crew with various lens and magazines mounted on the Hasselblad cameras.

All the missions before were equatorial in orbit , but this was the first to depart from this region and travel farthern north and south. Apollo 15 went closer to the poles into territory we had never seen before. We got a nhost of new observations of things we did not expect, supported by fabulous hand-held photography.” Farouk El-Baz, the astronauts’ lunar orbital geology instructor (Schick and Van Haaften, p. 113).
