I am starting a new thread for the exploration of the Pediment - we should see a climb onto its surface very soon. It's a rough surface so progress may be slow.

We can see Curiosity traversing toward the ESE during the past two drives, using official mosaics between Sols 3843 and 3853. Will be interesting to see how far this traverse will proceed before being able to top the ridge. It seems eventually to be a much gentler slope about 200 meters eastward. Hopefully the sandy terrain will relax just a short distance ahead.
Longer steppable drive animation with a combination of official and Jan's mosaics from Sol 3435 to the present. -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]
