QUOTE (StargazeInWonder @ Apr 23 2022, 04:35 PM)  ...but when we see a feature like this stand so tall above the surrounding plains, but cover such a small part of the area, that means that locally the erosion of other delta material must have been absolutely massive.... The maximum extent of the original deltas is not known but there are delta remnants similar to Kodiak some 3 km to the East of the current Neretva Vallis delta edge. Mars was probably a quite energetic environment when the lake dried out with reasonably rapid (in geological terms) erosion and step-back of the delta front. This occurred between the final drying out of the lake and the effusive lava that spread across the crater floor and embayed the delta and outlying remnants. As djellison indicates the environment now is most benign and any erosion is painfully slow. |

Very nice, Damia. I couldn't resist making a circular version, hope you don't mind. This is without any extra processing. Later i will look at a higher contrast version.
We just had another drive on sol 418. Phil

Sol 419. Not sure if we are turning to examine something interesting, or to improve helicopter communications for a new flight (or those parachute images).

I presume that we've driven up on that Nukshak plateau.

From the latest rover position it looks like Percy is still on the crater floor but probably plans to access the lower strata of the delta plateau from this location..easier access to avoid sand dunes perhaps?

Sol 419 Navcam panoramic. I just love here that feel of climbing up a hill.

That's a very nice panorama! Thanks, Damia.
This is sol 420's view in circular form. We moved about 60 m north to a rocky ledge. Phil

1. Sol 419 Mastcam-Z left eye filters 1 to 6 multispectral principal components false colors
2. Navcam context 3. Mastcam-Z left eye filter 0 (RGB) raw image for comparison 1
