There doesn't seem to be any kind of structure visible in those navcams of Cape York, yet the orbital images show it to have small peaks and bumps. Weird.

I think the whole scenery is still dizzy. Maybe waiting for some rain to get a better view later..
-------------------- Need more input ...

Using ant's latest excellent panorama, I've circled some jumbled rocks that have come into view. A question for the map-masters: are these rocks a part of Spirit Point? According to Google Mars, Spirit Point is somewhere in this direction.
Or maybe they belong to the circled rocks here: In any case, it seems like we should be looking right down on it by now! thanks again for all the fine images everyone. |

QUOTE Is that a cliff or crater rim showing just above the halfway point, on the right third of the image? Looks like a neat place to drive to some day This? That looks like a yummy exposure. Bit of a climb though, and dont they want to go down the sequence? P |

Well, if you weren't sure what was Solander, this should clear it all up. Was Tribulation visible from Victoria? (In case we climb up there, I want to know whether we'll see Victoria again ) -------------------- |

(internet through 3G network, in the Alps, it can be a little bit random). We'll wait you'll be back and I hope you'll be able at least to "see" the final approach/arrival. I spent 8 days around La Meije last month with NO network available at all... -------------------- |

I've added a new version of Opportunity's journey to Endeavour Crater on Youtube covering sols 2553-2671
Too big to host here. Interesting to watch the scenery change. Enjoy |

That's Awesome Astro0. Watched it more then a few times. From what I can see. Cape York has surprised us all and is actually below the Craters Edge and is probably harder material that did not get blown out from the impact that took place. I just want to get to the edge of the crater and see what Cape York really is and it now looks like we are going to have to drive down into the crater to investigate it instead of climbing a hill? From what I can see the angle of the drop into Endurance is not much. Thanks to all the image experts here.
