Might I humbly suggest this new thread, as Victoria looms large before us..?

GREAT images guys. I was out last night and have only just got online, to find Victoria opening up ahead of us... what a fantastic time! biggrin.gif

Well, if it IS "Cleft" we're glimpsing over VC's edge now, what might it look like when we can see it properly?

It looks to me (he says, pretending he knows what he's talking about! biggrin.gif ) that the "notch" in this feature is an area of material that has, for some reason, either slumped down or been eaten away in part by some erosive process. The slumping option makes more sense to me, because I think there are hints of blocks of material below it, farther down into the crater where they've fallen or slid. I'm still wondering if the post-VC formation (if it was post-VC? I asked for input on that Q ages ago but no-one had any thoughts on the matter..) of nearby Sofi crater might have shaped this southern area of VC...?

If it is an erosive feature, then what has eroded it? Wind action? Just thinking aloud...

Whatever's going on here, I look forward to more detailed pics. I think we'll see some big blocks beneath "Cleft" and a lot of areological action around it. smile.gif
