Starting a new topic to include Eduardo's Google overlay for the rest of the journey to Cape York:
http://planetary.s3.amazonaws.com/gmars_ma...41_1775_RED.kml Follow the link above and it should load right in to your Google Mars features. I took a low crow's flight along the final 6km this morning. Below in green is what I think the final route will look like. Also an interesting feature along the way that appears to be a cluster of rocks, possibly Santa Maria ejecta, or large meteorite fragments. Note how the dune has evolved around the three (or more) objects. Object is at -2.199395°, -5.396676° -- roughly 3km down range from Santa Maria. EDIT: bad link replaced, wider context image added for three rocks. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Similar to Fredk's version but even more stretchy (Phil-o-sized).
Some nice details showing up. Would be interested to see if James or others would be brave enough to start identifying any features on Cape York |

Would be interested to see if James or others would be brave enough to start identifying any features on Cape York Maybe. I've actually sat down at my computer a couple of times thinking about doing some feature mapping but decided it would take more time than I had. Maybe tonight... -------------------- |

In this processed 5x vertical stretch of Ant103 pano, the distant mountains on the centre/right should be the Iazu rim... Can someone confirm?
