The Apollo XII Lunar Module Eagle landed in the Sea of Tranquility on the surface of the moon on July 20th 1969.
This landing site was chosen not for it's geological or aesthetic interest but due to its flat nature making it easier to land there than many other places on the moon.
Because Apollo XII was the first manned landing it was essential purely to land rather than obtain any scientific knowledge, but astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin spent approximately two hours outside their spacecraft collecting rocks and soil samples, although neither man ventured more than a hundred yards from the landing site, so in actual fact very little exploring was done before the men had to leave the Lunar surface.
