A group of 21 NASA astronauts spent a week in Iceland in the summer of 1967 to study the geology, which is very similar to what was expected to be found on the moon. Al Worden is seen souvenir shopping in the hotel lobby.

Now that's a young Al Worden and I love his flying jacket. Maybe not, but isn't that Neil Armstrong sitting down at the table over Worden's left shoulder?

I believe its Jack Swigert. Compare pants and footwear to this pic from that Iceland trip.
