Victoria Crater (2) - Sol 970 (natural colors)
|
Caption NASA:"The top of Cape Verde is in the immediate foreground at the center of the image.
To the left and right are two of the more gradually sloped bays that alternate with the cliff-faced capes or promontories around the rim of the crater. Duck Bay, where Opportunity first reached the rim, is to the right. Beyond Duck Bay counterclockwise around the rim, the next promontory is Cabo Frio, about 150 mt (500 feet) from the Rover.
On the left side of the panorama (frame 1) is Cape St. Mary, the next promontory clockwise from Cape Verde and about 40 mt (130 feet) from the Rover. The vantage point atop Cape Verde offered a good view of the rock layers in the cliff face of Cape St. Mary, which is about 15 mt or 50 feet tall. By about two weeks after the PanCam finished collecting the images for this panorama, Opportunity had driven to Cape St. Mary and was photographing Cape Verde's rock layers. The far side of the crater lies about 800 mt (half a mile) away, toward the South-East".
