Nasa announced earlier that Opportunity will head for Vostok Crater, due South.
I assembled this colored mosaic to get a better idea of what lies ahead. Reaching the crater Victoria in the south should not be a problem, I only hope the rocky terrain north of the crater will allow Opportunity to travel in more or less a straight line. There sure are plenty of interesting sites to explore in this area!
