Steve has a new update:
http://athena1.cornell.edu/news/mubss/ And it looks like the official name for the Ultreya Abyss now is "El Dorado" I looked up El Dorado and the poem is actually quite fitting  by Edgar Allan Poe (1849) Gaily bedight, A gallant knight, In sunshine and in shadow, Had journeyed long, Singing a song, In search of Eldorado. But he grew old- This knight so bold- And o'er his heart a shadow Fell as he found No spot of ground That looked like Eldorado. And, as his strength Failed him at length, He met a pilgrim shadow- "Shadow," said he, "Where can it be- This land of Eldorado?" "Over the Mountains Of the Moon, Down the Valley of the Shadow, Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied- "If you seek for Eldorado!" -------------------- "I want to make as many people as possible feel like they are part of this adventure. We are going to give everybody a sense of what exploring the surface of another world is really like"

I wish we could get closer to the ElDorado dune ripple field. I am still hoping the see if there are any microcraters in Gusev (none seen yet). The dune ripple field would be an excellent surface to produce microcraters (assuming they form from impact).
