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.

That light area on the south horizon looks like about the correct azimuth for Victoria. I'd bet on an upturned crater rim-- remember how Endurance and Burns Cliff was visible once Oppy got out of Eagle.
