Layers of 'Cape Verde' in 'Victoria Crater'

Oct. 6, 2006
This true-color image of Victoria crater is looking north from Duck Bay towards the dramatic promontory called Cape Verde. This is an enhanced false color rendering of images taken by NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity on Sept. 28, 2006.

This view of Victoria crater is looking north from "Duck Bay" towards the dramatic promontory called "Cape Verde." The dramatic cliff of layered rocks is about 50 meters (about 165 feet) away from the rover and is about 6 meters (about 20 feet) tall. The taller promontory beyond that is about 100 meters (about 325 feet) away, and the vista beyond that extends away for more than 400 meters (about 1300 feet) into the distance. This is an approximately true color rendering of images taken by the panoramic camera (Pancam) on NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity during the rover's 952nd sol, or Martian day, (Sept. 28, 2006) using the camera's 750-nanometer, 530-nanometer and 430-nanometer filters.
