This discussion seem to have missed the discussion and answer posted by Emily in the Distant Vistas thread. Right. This graph that Emily posted shows about 800 meters straight line horizontal distance between Santa Maria and where the elevation again matches that at the bottom of Victoria. (I've indicated this in green.) Edit: Although if you take the elevation of Victoria's bottom as being -1450 rather than -1440 as indicated in the table, the straight line distance is more like 1900 meters. |

2353 looks like a driving sol. I wonder if this is the +100m drive mentioned on Scott Maxwell's twitter. If it is 100m, it will cut 1% off the distance to Endeavour in a single sol!
