Endeavour's eastern rim, Opportunity sol 2671
On sol 2671 (July 30, 2011), Opportunity looked to the south to see the peaked western rim of Endeavour crater. Cape Tribulation is the nearest, followed by Cape Byron and Cape Dromedary. Far in the distance, a lighter line of mountains is the distant rim of Iazu crater.Blog Search
