Their first task after landing was to configure the Lunar Module (LM) to launch mode in case the LM began to tilt or sink in the soil. After that, the astronauts looked out their windows and attempted to describe the surrounding terraine. This was done to give scientists back on earth an idea of where the astronauts had landed. It was important that the people in Houston know the exact location so their traverses can be planned more exactly.
