Congrats to the team for reaching the top!

This is truely an unbelievable achievement for the MER team. Cresting the hill, with Thira crater is in full view to the east, as that beast of a dust devil goes cruising by and untold more sights to see yet to come. This is quite a moment...

Isn't that the rim of Thira crater?

Here is a portion of an overlay of the MEX HSRC color, on THEMIS images, showing the area north and east of the Columbia Hills. That "small" triangle in the lower left are the Columbia Hills. The 22 km diameter crater northeast is Thira Crater. We've seen parts of it before, from in between the peaks as Spirit was climbing, but I think the navcam images from sol 581 are the first full view of it.

Spirit looking around on the summit of Husband Hill.

A spectacular view to the south and also a big dust devil.

Taken on Sol 581 with the L Navcam.

This is part of a 360 degree panorama. The rest will follow. ( I hope ).

Spirit is the queen of the hill!!!
Let me be the fool just aside her... biggrin.gif

Just a suggestion, as we know that MERs are amazing ladies why not giving some rock or feature the name of the first woman climbing Everest? Junko Tabei, of Japan, in 1975.
