I'm impressed too!
Regarding "Purgatory in red color or not" I wouldn't be surprised to find such area in yellow/orange and the area around "Jammerbugt" in darker color. We should not forget that Purgatory was a bad event, worst than Jammerbugt, not because of the ripples' size but mainly (imo) because the rover was in "blind drive mode" during those old times and when she got trapped on the ripple she continued turning and turning the wheels for the equivalent of 50m (afaik) without "slip detection" and digging deeper in the sand. That was not the case in Jammerbugt when "slip detection" was in use so it was easier to get out of it. |
