Victoria Crater, from Duck Bay (1)
|
Caption NASA originale:"NASA's Mars Rover Opportunity edged 3,7 meters (12 feet) closer to the top of the Duck Bay alcove along the rim of Victoria Crater during the Rover's 952nd Martian day, or Sol (overnight Sept. 27 to Sept. 28), and gained this vista of the Crater. (...)
The far side of the crater is about 800 mt (one-half mile) away.
The rim of the crater is composed of alternating promontories, rocky points towering approximately 70 mt (about 230 feet) above the crater floor, and recessed alcoves, such as Duck Bay. The bottom of the crater is covered by sand that has been shaped into ripples by the Martian wind.
The rocky cliffs in the foreground have been informally named Cape Verde, on the left, and Cabo Frio, on the right".
