Erebus Crater looks like it's two craters, with a smaller one on top of a larger one. Which of the two is the 'real' Erebus? In other words, when does Opportunity arrive at Erebus: when it reaches the rim of the largest crater or the smaller one?

Looking at that picture I think Oppy might cross right over Erebus without noticing anything but a few small and scattered outcrops. It looks really burried and old! BTW, I hope I'm wrong about this and that "The Etched Terrain" can live up a bit more to its name. So far it has been something (a lot?) of a disappointment.

The smaller one is Erebus, the larger one is Terra Nova. The full resolution imakes make Erebus look a lot more interesting. I don't think it will be disappointing.
