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 |

Here is an image from the nasa report with the elevation data. I've added a few things. It seems to put everything into perspective. If sombody could take the colorized elevation chart and overlay it across the route map it might help too.
I'll do it if I get time but it won't be for a few days. scott |
