A landing site panorama is shown at the end of the video.
Original footage was taken as 12 frames per second. Here is was interpolated using DAIN AI to the cinema standard 24 fps. The frame was rotated according to camera position on the forward Lunar Module window.

=========================================
Apollo 16 landed on the Descartes Highlands. The site was chosen to allow the astronauts to gather geologically older lunar material than the samples obtained in three of the first four Moon landings, which were in or near lunar maria. Samples from the Descartes Formation and the Cayley Formation disproved a hypothesis that the formations were volcanic in origin
John Young and Charles Duke spent 71 hours on the lunar surface, during which they conducted three extra-vehicular activities or moonwalks, totaling 20 hours and 14 minutes. The pair drove the Lunar Roving Vehicle for 26.7 kilometers (16.6 mi)
