Striding off towards the horizon transporting scientific packages, Aldrin maneuvered through an area covered with fragments of broken rock.
From the mission transcript as Aldrin was evaluating the mobility on the lunar surface:
110:13:42 Aldrin: You do have to be rather careful to keep track of where your center of mass is. Sometimes, it takes about two or three paces to make sure you’ve got your feet underneath you.
