It seems about the right time to start a new thread as we have now turned East to Endeavour.
Hope no one minds...

There is the possibility that the crater once contained a lake, in which case there should be some sedimentary rocks distinct from the meridiani stuff. Remains of these might be found at the foot of the hills rather than their summits, providing a worthy science target in the event that by this time serious climbing is ruled out. One question I asked in an earlier discussion didn't get answered, at least not here. I guess this is a good opportunity to try again. smile.gif What is the elevation of the lowest point on Endeavour's perimeter and how does it compare with the elevation of the beachlike platform we see around the lower parts of the rim hills?
