Distant vistas, Endeavour, Iazu, and beyond Options

[fredk]

To answer Ustrax's querries from the other thread, I think we can now see more of the south west rim of Endeavour and Iazu. In this image I've lined up the views from 1987 pancam (colour on bottom, from Astro in this post) and 2136 navcam (top, from Ant's navcam mosiac):

The leftmost (Endeavour north rim) and middle (far rim) features look similar. But it looks like we can see more stuff on the right, which is Endeavour south rim and Iazu. The view we had a few sols ago (2133) of Iazu was still partly obscured by dunes, so it makes sense that we can see more now.

I can't see Bopolu in the navcams, though it could be there and buried in the jpeg noise...

It is about where we start to turn to the east after this long trek south and west (about 1400 m south of Concepcion).

Meanwhile, here is another look at Iazu, a comparison of two sols (cut from a post higher up in this thread). I have labelled four hills, and the way hill D gets displaced relative to the other three suggests it must be on the far rim of Iazu.

I agree D is on the far rim, and in this post I also claimed that the bits on the right are far rim. Here's a cross-eyed version of the long baseline stereo view for those red-green challanged out there:
