Really beautiful pictures, all of you. And the scenery is going to get better all the time.

Big news in the current status report... Curiosity will attempt to climb the slope here and get onto the pediment surface now instead of going the long way round (east, south, southwest). I thought it would not be possible but apparently it is. I'm surprised they are not worried about missing the contact between Glen Torridon and the sulphate hills, but maybe they can get back to that area later.

It appears that the only place where Curiosity can climb to Greenheugh Pediment without making significant detour to the east is just to the south of Tower Butte. Slope map overlaid on HiRise image. Green areas have a slope of 50%.

Put the Navcam L images from Sol 2688-2674 and 2671 together
and made a Polar view of them.

I guess Curiosity will drive over saddle on the ridge visible at the lower left of this image to reach the plateau behind...

Hey all!

Current scenery is too beautiful and the journey is way too exciting, I just have to share my updated Navcam viewer with you.
It’s nowhere near finished and far from perfect but it does a pretty good job showing Curiosity’s incredible panorama’s.

Pressing ‘tab’ or the upper right dot brings up a sol selection menu, pressing ‘h’ gives some more options. Enjoy!

Rob

Thanks Rob, this is so useful and very convenient! I spent way too long speedrunning through Naukluft & Murray Buttes just now...

This is such a high quality thread! My thanks and congratulations to all the posters!
Once Curiosity climbs onto the Greenheugh Pediment will it be time for a new thread?

Here is Jan's panorama for sol 2691 in circular form. Some of us had thought the rover should climb into the saddle between the main pediment and Tower Butte, but that is blocked by dark dusty drifts which Curiosity can't drive through, certainly not on a steep slope. The access point is to the southwest from the drill site and we just moved in that direction.

I assume Curiosity is pointing right at the entry?
