QUOTE (fredk @ Nov 17 2006, 06:19 PM)  Beautiful view of Cape Verde and Duck Bay in the background from sol 995 location on CSM: attachmentid=8372 This view of Cape Verde reminds me of the first view we had of the inside of Beagle : the evaporite look like a patchwork fitting the shape of the Cape. -------------------- |

The latest navcam from sol 1000 or 1001 looking back at the north side of Cape Verde doesn't show any sign of that prominent layer we saw on the south side, the side facing Duck Bay. And so far I can't see that layer anywhere else where we have good images. If that is a unique outcrop it will be a strong incentive to enter Duck Bay and try to get a look at it.

Mmm, I hope we are speaking of the same layers... I think it's there (see layer A on the picture below). It's not so visible because the north side is facing the sun and there are far less shadows to enhance the layering.
And looking to the same image I was wondering if the "layer" named B (and "B?" at Duck Bay) on the picture could be the same bright white layer seen on the far rim and discussed some time ago?

I think you're right about the bright layer.
The thin and very distinct layer seen on the other side of Cape Verde is underneath your layer A - if you view both images side by side it looks liike that, anyway. I think the debris in this little bay north of the Cape covers up the lower layer in your view. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

I'm not sure about the layers, but that view back toward the first cabos was really nice. This anaglyph suffers from some imperfections, but some people might like to see an even imperfect anaglyph from sol 1002.

The east side of Cape Verde from the Sol 1006 (11am version) pancams - L2
 What a fantastic view! I'll do the anaglyph when I get a chance - that should be awsome! James -------------------- |

Tesheiner said the layering on the other side extended around to this side, and I thought it was not exposed here, but clearly he was right. A great mosaic, James.

Here's a perspective projection version, just to really give you a sense of vertigo... Remember Opportunity was poised more or less on the end of that cliff.

Wow, I see that new raw images are down and by the time I get here they are assembled and anaglyphed!
I love this site. -------------------- |

No prize for second place, but here is my version for what it's worth.
