Ah, so I heard what you said and understood what you meant...
 Sometimes, as a geologist, one can get a bit pedantic with empty precision in terminology.  You were correct-- those Turkey Haven and North Haven pics are tremendous. --Bill -------------------- |

"Turkey Haven" looking south... I think... I'm a little lost after not really paying attention the past couple of days...

I think this is right. Turkey Haven seems to be referenced as the one right under our nose; we'll be IDD'ing this boss through the Thanksgiving weekend. "Winter Haven" might be another name floating around, which is ~15m NE of Oppy right now. It has even greater northerly slopes than Turkey Haven, which is at about 15 degrees as is! I don't know if "Winter Haven" is the winter haven, but it certainly is a candidate. Since it doesn't an an official associated target in our tactical database (for now), I would guess that it was just the name the science team chose on a whim. That seemed to be the way of things at the SOWG meeting for 2778/9... Interesting how I'm knee-deep with the team and I don't know these things!  -m |

The summit of the peak we've been gazing down on? (when we could see it at all)

Agreed. Dynamite interviews, Stu; provided a great deal of insight into Oppy's present findings & activities!
