Opportunity is not quite at Victoria yet, but on the horizon is a tantalising goal for the future- the big eroded crater to the south-east, the rim of which is already visible. This is the first 'large scale' topography of the mission so far. Wouldn't it be great if Opportunity could get to these hills and uncover their secrets?

For the love of god don't let a rover driver see this or we'll be attempting to jump Victoria in the rush to get there

When we'll be on this promontory on the left, we'll have another perspective of "Troy" from which you'll be able to play around and find new/ confirm structures. I'm sure, we'll have to think about what's behind the horizon once Oppy will be inside VC. I'm sure will get bored sometimes during VC exploration so we'll revive this thread. -------------------- |
