Now we have a (relatively) firm timetable for arrival at Victoria - a month, I think it was - I thought the time was right to open a new thread on what will greet us when we get there. So, I've been playing about (cue groans from the more experienced image processors!
 ) with the best Victoria image I could find, and have brought out some interesting features and details I'd appreciate people's comments on, preferably not in Klingon, as I'm still just dipping in and out of my geological dictionary... I've got three "areas of interest" for you, labelled here... Victoria Crater 1. Spills of boulders and slumping along the northern crater rim and detail on the "Boat Ramp"? 2. Pronounced gully-like feature on western slope? 3. Large shelf on south-western edge? I hope no-one will criticise the very amateurish effort here, or think I'm putting these images forward as anything special. I'm just trying to get some discussion and debate going. I know this is a less than scientific exercise - I leave the science to you guys, I just like to throw a pebble in the discussion pool and watch the pretty ripples spread out...
