Wandering through the Hires image using the IAS viewer the height of the ripples appears to scale with the brightness of the east-west waves visible at 1:8. Where the waves are visible the ripples look like they did near purgatory or higher, areas without waves look more like the area around vostok. The waves also look like they are higher than their surrounding. If I remember correctly Oppy got began digging in at purgatory when she started climbing one of these waves. If I was the rover driver I would be thinking about avoiding as much of the wavy areas as possible by looking for a path southeast through the etched terrain like in Tesheiner' post from a couple of days ago http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...st&p=126410
