Nasa announced earlier that Opportunity will head for Vostok Crater, due South.
I assembled this colored mosaic to get a better idea of what lies ahead. Reaching the crater Victoria in the south should not be a problem, I only hope the rocky terrain north of the crater will allow Opportunity to travel in more or less a straight line. There sure are plenty of interesting sites to explore in this area! -------------------- photographer, space imagery enthusiast, proud father and partner, and geek.

I think they will visit similar depressions in Victoria's vicinity once they get there, although Victoria will have all the attention. I have been looking through some raw images and the outcropping surrounding Victoria is visible in some images. I had some doubts because the white horizon in some images dissappears when colorizing the images, but looking at some other images the L2's shows the rocks lighter toned than for example an L5.
What do you think? -------------------- photographer, space imagery enthusiast, proud father and partner, and geek.
