I'm not really asking a question really - just posing an issue
Mars Pathfinder was about 2.2km from 'Big Crater' which was about 1.5km wide. Now - Victoria is only half that size - but it says something about local topography that we cant see it from where we are now - about 3-4km from it. Doug |

Doug I remember seeing a coloured MOLA map somewhere here (can't find it) that shows that Victoria is a bit lower than where we are now - so its just under the horizon. Chris |
