Caption NASA originale:"NASA's Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Opportunity extended its cumulative Martian driving record to more than 10 Km (6,2 miles) by crossing 50,51 meters (165,7 feet) of flat ground during the 1080th Sol since arriving on Mars.
This view shows the surroundings at the completion of the day's drive. It is a mosaic of frames taken by Opportunity's Navigation Camera (NavCam).
The drive continued Opportunity's clockwise progress around the rim of "Victoria Crater" which is visible near the horizon.
Opportunity began its 4th year of exploring Mars in January 2007. Its mission was originally planned for 3 months, with a driving-distance goal of 600 mt (such as 1.969 feet)".
