Original caption:"The MER Opportunity initially examined sedimentary rock outcrops and sandy, windblown regolith within Eagle Crater; then it was driven by the Rover Team out of Eagle Crater and on into Endurance Crater.
By the end of 2004, Opportunity left Endurance and started investigating the site where the Heatshield impacted the surface.
After that, the Rover spent much of the year 2005 driving from the Heatshield location down to the shallow Erebus Crater.
Long-term plans call for driving Opportunity from Erebus to Victoria Crater, where a substantially thicker sequence of layered rock is expected to be found, relative to previous outcrops examined in the craters Endurance and Eagle".
