So far images of Victoria - from orbit and from the ground, as Oppy approaches - have been tantalising at best, and frustrating at worst. What does everyone think we've seen so far, and what features do you think we'll see as Oppy approaches and later, when she finally arrives?

Victoria crater is named for Magellan's ship, the only one of five in the original fleet which completed the first circumnavigation of Earth.
I would suggest choosing names associated with that expedition, names of people, other ships in the fleet, and places associated with the voyage. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
