Thanks Eduardo and Damien!
I'm sure Paolo would have prefered getting this kind of terrain to get to VB -------------------- |

I have the feeling that this could become one of the emblematic pictures of the whole Mer missions: http://nasa.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/...OAP1951L0M1.JPG

That's too cool, James. Tonight I'm going to have to try to whip up some anaglyph perspective views of West Valley from the PDS images, to offset the coolness. (Adding: I mean that in that sense that anything I produce will probably be less cool, if only because it won't be in color.)

The rear weels (the one that drive first) do not appear to be sinking at the actual position.
The RF sank much more than a few meters before. The LF didn't sink at any stage. This is not consistent to me. Any idea? -------------------- |

Be careful: "planet-encircling" and "global" are different animals. So far the evidence only shows dust activity in the south, though it's creeping northward. Global circulation patterns are disturbed, but so far the dust is confined to the south. And this hasn't been corroborated by image data yet.

How strong is the correlation between atmospheric temperature increases and dust storms? -------------------- --

Spirit has seen elevated opacity (>1) for 2 weeks now. It's about 1.2 and falling, but you can't extrapolate the trends on the ground in storms. BTW, Opportunity has seen over 1.5 optical depths in the same time frame, and also is at 1.2 and falling.
