I think it's time for a new topic. We are effectively at the entrance to Gediz Vallis now that we have climbed this last slope on sol 3871.
The previous topic described the Greenheugh Pediment. We made a valiant attempt (two valiant attempts really) to explore its surface. It was too rough for Curiosity's dainty wheels but its outer edge was examined in detail. But now there are new targets: a crater cluster, the Gediz Vallis Ridge whose upper part is accessible from this level, and the large valley and its central sinuous valley as well. I attached a picture seen at LPSC - I am embarrassed to say that I can't remember where it was from. Usually I have detailed notes of sources but this one slipped through. Maybe someone will recognize it and I can add a source. It gives the name of the butte at the western entrance to the valley, annotated onto the JPL map. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Neo's second MH image, ie this frame:
https://mars.nasa.gov/msl-raw-images/msss/0...827C00_DXXX.jpg covers some of the areas that showed up as green in my image but clearly shows them to be close to neutral in colour. |

Animation between Sols 4197 and 4200 using official mosaics. Moving to the NW and further into the channel.
Longer steppable drive animation with a combination of official and Jan's mosaics from Sol 3435 up to the present. -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]
