Tesheiner, I read about the 10K mark, and was hoping that you had updated the route map to show the excursion that put us over the mark -- and you didn't disappoint!
By the way, I'm thinking that Oppy's getting ready to head back to Duck Bay, which looks like the past entry path, plus nice vertical cliffs to examine on the way in . . . |

There are more : http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...cam/2007-02-18/ Can't believe how thin last cape looks like. Nice Oppy's tracks near The Dock : Lot of dark sand too, with some tiny dark "rays" that seams to feed it from above. -------------------- |

It looks like the puzzling driving as seen around Sol 1078 - 1082 may have been due to the live testing of the Field D* autonav software:

Hello all, I'm a n b to UnmannedSpaceflight. A geological beginner's question about the L2 pancam image from Sol1091: Is the prominent ridge creating the shadow considered to be the point-of-impact when the crater was formed in the first place? To what extent has the surface-level diameter of the crater expanded over eons?

Interesting little rock at the right side of this image. It appears dark in this filter, but light in the other 2.

Opportunity moved on sol 1094 a few meters to a new location. New pics at the exploratorium.
We can clearly see "Hoy" in this navcam image: http://nasa.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportu...R1P0655L0M1.JPG |

I'll attempt to provide an answer to your questions. Others may correct me. The initial point of impact of the bolide that formed Victoria crater would have been destroyed in the explosion generated by the impact. The ridge that is visible in the middle background of the sol 1091 panorama has been called "the dock" in this forum and "Guam" by the follks at NASA. As far as I know, there has been no 'official' statement of it's origin. The scalloped nature of Victoria's perimeter strongly suggests that some erosion has taken place since it's formation. How much erosion has occurred has been the subject of some debate. |
