And we have a name! Cook Haven. I hope it lives up to its namesake.

Is anyone else curious to see what Cape York looks like from up here, as I am?

It looks like this (upper left) - but yes, let's hope we see some great Pancam coverage at some point during the winter. Let's just hope she isn't developing a case of trench wheel.

Mike beat me to it by a second or two, but this is my version, merging both frames from that sequence and brightening (and enlarging). Pancam should look pretty good when we get it.

Looking to apparent horizon, these images confirm that both structures (Cape York and Nobby's Head) are within Endeavour depression and, as suggested from elevation charts, Opportunity will not go significantly above Meridian plain level by climbing the Murray ridge, making impossible to see farther features like Victoria or Endurance craters...

Ah, but wait until next year when we're on top of Cape Tribulation!

Many thanks, guys. Even with the low-res, this shows very clearly how those features are on the down slope into Endeavour, and how flat they are.

Very nice - and with a bit of geometric wizardry it becomes this circular panorama. The various outcrops can be identified quite easily on the HiRISE image now.

Ah, but wait until next year when we're on top of Cape Tribulation! Phil brings me back to 2009 wondering what parts of the Endeavor rim we were seeing I don't think we could see anything at all from Victoria, as far as I recall it took until about sol 1920 or so when things started popping up on the horizon, though I may be off by a rise or two on that. |

We couldn't see Tribulation from Victoria, but we could see the tallest peaks on the east and north rim of Endeavour. Check out these pancam views:
