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

It's hard to say what ought to be done because we don't know what she'll be able to do. Oppy will be pretty old and creaky by the time she reaches the Endeavour Hills. As many of us are.
At a minimum she ought to be able to walk the outcrop and look at the outcrop and pieces of float that have come drifting down. In an ideal world she ought to make a travserse up the hill and down the other side and give us a good idea of the lithology and structure of that section. Look at the inter-crater sediments. And then explore. Ngunn, I'm not sure what that elevation is. I don't think it's as much a "beach-like platform" as much as it is an erosionally-resistant bed. Whatever it turns out to be, it will most assuredly be interesting... --Bill -------------------- |
