The latest pancams show some interesting bumps on the far horizon as well as long 'swells' on the plain that might respond well to 'phil-o-vision'. Time for the 'Distant Vistas' team to resume work? I'm not going to attempt the first identifications as I have little idea what azimuths we're looking at. Also I don't know what visibility to expect with the current dust levels.

Yikes, you may be right. Here's the Duck Bay - Iazu line of sight, showing it does come very close to Tribulation:
Something always looked odd about marswiggle's bump. The part circled in black looks less hazy than the rest (presumably Iazu). Maybe that's the highest bit of Tribulation, which was much closer and so should look less hazy: This could be better checked using the PDS and combining the various frames, if someone has time... But if this is right, it would mean we'll definitely have a line of sight to Victoria from the summit! |
