Starting to name rocks and features around the lander. The theme: fairy tales and folklore, so we have (another? Doesn't Gusev have one already?) "Sleepy Hollow", "Headless" (as in "horseman" I'm guessing" and "Ichabod", plus "Humpty Dumpty", "Wall" and "Alice"...
Labelled pic here Peter Smith said they expect to be naming 100 to 200 features, so there's a lot of potential to have your kid's (or your own!) favourite fairy tale character ID's on Mars soon... -------------------- |

Starting to name rocks and features around the lander. I'm hoping that the trough near vector 300 gets the name "Blue Canyon". This seems to be one of those ubiquitous names you find on just about every hiking map. It would be nice to have one on Mars as well to increase confusion. [Other ubiquitous names include: Deer Lake, Mount Snow, Bald Mountain, Deep Creek, Green River, Green Valley (oops! already got that one!), Rocky Ridge, Blue Lake.] -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/
