Message text revised, image updated. Teach me to put up an image and dash out shopping!

I've been to Barringer Crater, and this _does_ give a sense of scale to Victoria.

Bill,

thanks for the update with text.

perhaps add depth [Barringer 170 m deep (570 ft)] and N

Barringer width (wikipedia) is 1200 m (~0.8 mi) compared to ca. 800 m (~0.5 mi) for Victoria (JPL press release)

Now we just need to see those rover tracks and compare to the human tracks at Barringer smile.gif

here is a side view of Barringer

Here's a nice side panorama of Barringer Crater:

And here is a space-based image of the crater:

Looking at its center from the edge:

--------------------
"After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance.
I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard,
and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does
not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is
indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have
no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft."

- Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853
