Next Stop: Victoria Crater!

Caption NASA originale:"This image from the Mars Orbiter Camera on NASA's Mars Global Surveyor highlights the MER Opportunity's approach toward Victoria Crater.

North is to the left. Opportunity's location at Sol 804 (such as April 29, 2006) is marked, as are the left and right edges of Victoria's rim from the Rover's point of view. The labeled "promontory" is a bright spot that scientists believe is an outcrop on the far side of the crater. Marked in light purple is a small, 35-mt (about 115-foot) crater.

Victoria Crater is 800 mt (nearly half a mile) in diameter, about six times wider than Endurance Crater, where Opportunity spent several months in 2004 examining rock layers affected by ancient water".
