Ulli writes, "This sketch plays with the name of the Apollo 12 landing area. The principal landmark identifying the landing site was a pattern of craters called the 'Snowman' with Surveyor Crater as it's torso and Head Crater as ... well, yes ... its head. A labeled frame from a 16-mm film Dick Gordon shot through the sextant of the Command Module shows a rough outline of the Snowman, with Surveyor Crater, Head Crater, and the position of the LM marked as well."
