Sol 2695: Just a short drive / climb, but a very welcome one to get all 6 wheels off the slope and onto the top of the pediment
Roughly stitched L-NavCam partial pan using MS-ICE with the available images. I'm sure the full 360 will be memorable... BTW: maybe a good time for a new thread? (Traversing the Greenheugh Pediment?) |

I may be a tad bidirectionally challenged, but isn't that the marker bed?

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing you are referring to the 'marker bed' described in this? link Here's where I think the terrain is, I've added a box to a mosaic assemble by Neville Thomson showing the other long range RMIs from atop the pediment link Edit: We now have the mission update that covers this sol: QUOTE On the second sol Curiosity will take a ChemCam long distance RMI mosaic of the pediment capping unit to assess the stratigraphy and sedimentary structures exposed on the flank of Gediz Vallis.
