What if we cant drive into Victoria Crater?

There's a very real possibilty of not being able to drive down into Victoria Crater - just as there was with Endurance, which I think we were lucky with. If that is the case, what kind of science plan will the team come up with? Perhaps drive around the rim and producing lots of large panoramic mosaics? There doesnt seem anywhere else to go a beyond the crater.

In comment to the original question of the thread...

If we can't drive into Victoria, perhaps we can drive into Beagle. Or the small dimple crater on Victoria's southeast corner, almost directly on her rim.

There are several other small craters in the area, but most appear to be pretty well filled in. I'd say Beagle or that unnamed dimple crater would be our best bets to find a north-facing slope on which to winter.
