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 |

I think it's likely that the climb in altitude is attributed to an ejecta blanket caused by the Victoria impact, in which case it's all just a bunch of rubble with no clear depositional layering, sort of what we saw around Endurance but in much grander scale.
Now, the cliffs inside Victoria may tell a nice story though, if they are reachable in any way ![]() |
