A quick circular view of the 3840 location - I am not confident enough in the location to map it yet.

Looks like wind cleans this area very very well! With a little luck Opportunity will also experience some cleaning on this ridge.

Is that the actual summit of Cape Tribulation visible on the right here?

Is that the actual summit of Cape Tribulation visible on the right here? Looking at Phil's new location and this proposed route map I think it probably is the summit - there's nothing else between us and the summit that could look that dramatic. The exposed outcrop just to our east is marked as "science opportunity: crest approach" on that map, so there's a chance we'll stop for a look... |

Hi
I don't know if it's a come back, but I feel the envy to do some stitchings these days (maybe it's because the summit is near). So, Sol 3846 Navcam panoramic : -------------------- |

Yes, thanks everybody. It's nice to reconnect to the wider context around Endeavour now that we're up high. I am (pleasantly) surprised that we can see as far as 60 km just now. Fingers crossed for continued dust clearance and a glimpse of the Miyamoto rim.

A circular view of Damia's panorama - showing the fracture very nicely. Thanks for making the panorama, Damia!

Can anyone construct (or link to) a good contour map?
Much of the close terrain is quite gentle here; that makes it pretty difficult to keep track of the gain in altitude just by casual observation of landmarks. |

Fascinating stuff. A suggestion for admins: Maybe it's worth splitting recent posts off into a new thread, something along the lines of 'Distant Vistas II, the view from Cape Tribulation'? There's bound to be more of this as we approach the summit. (If that's done feel free to delete this post.)
Good Idea, done. - Mod Distant Vistas 2 - The view from Cape Tribulation |
