Narrative: Around 10:15, we headed toward the Sea of Shells. The ride was very pleasant, as the landscape shifted through different gradients and textures. We stopped at the Grey Overlook to admire the panorama for about half an hour, and then continued down to the Sea of Shells.

We spent another half hour observing the fossil formations before beginning our return to the Hab. On the way back, we made a final short stop to take in the Mars-like landscape one last time. The film crew documented the entire EVA, while the Commander focused on his project of capturing panoramic views of the different locations.
