Stretch the hell out of it and you can eve see some of the tracking within eagle including the failed egress attemtpt at about 2 O'clock. Also - tracks visible toward and away from Fram - and around the Endurance rim...and the major slippage events near the rocks on the southern side inside Endurance are quite visible.
That there is anything visible at all after some 2+yeras is amazing. Doug

I have a request to anyone that has the full size Merdiani image. In the original MOC image there is a very dark spot that looked like the Heatshield impact site only it was located further south. It forms a triangle with the feature named Vostok and another smaller crater. There was some speculation it could have been a recent impact site. Is it visible in the HiRISE image?
Attached a crop of the MOC image.

Wow (again) clink clink.
You can see still see the rover tracks below the south rim of Endurance. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

QUOTE (Sunspot @ Nov 29 2006, 08:22 PM) Anatolia Fault, Sol 72, NavCam ... Did we ever find out what these were? The only full-fledged geological analysis of the plains around Endurance that I've seen referenced anywhere seems to call them "materials removal features," or somesuch. From what I've been able to tell, they identified them as cracks that formed in the upper surface due to removal of volatiles (i.e., ice and water) from the substrate as part of the long-term evaporation process. That does pose the problem of the lack of aeolian fill -- if these cracks were formed three billion years ago when all the water is supposed to have evaporated out of this place, why haven't they been filled with dust by now? -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain

Thanks, Emily. These MRO images, along with Phil's excellent route map and Oppy's ground truth will make it possible to begin to understand what's happening in this Wonderland...

OK I found Purgatory. Starting with Phil's map (Thanks Emily for digging that up and hosting it ..the check is in the mail)...and then overlaying the vertical projection from sol 446 (inserted in red below). The geometry is slightly off in the vertical projection, but I guess that's to be expected.
Sure enough though there's still a bright streak there.

I still remember Jason and I finding Purgatory one day shortly after the first picture was taken. Problem is, I know we used the ISIS file, and I'm not sure if the whole image was released or not at the time... Still, it was fun. |

Thanks Emily for all your posts.
I am really impressed by the gullies. I've just a little question. If these gullies are created by avalanches of fluidized sand, why don't we see some build up of sand at the end ?  -- Rakhir |

I can't tell if I got them the right way around, I can't identify one spec to co-register for a great image - I'm not sure I've done it right at all...
but it looks cool.
