View of 'Bottomless Bay' on Rim of 'Victoria'

Dec. 13, 2006
On Dec. 5, 2006, NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity examined a section of the scalloped rim called Bottomless Bay in Victoria Crater on Mars. The upper portion of the crater wall contains a jumble of material.

As part of its investigation of "Victoria Crater," NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity examined a section of the scalloped rim called "Bottomless Bay" (or "Bahia sin Fondo"). This view shows the northeastern side of Bottomless Bay as seen from the southwest. The exposures combined into this mosaic were taken by the rover's panoramic camera through a 750-nanometer filter during the 1,019th Martian day, or sol, of Opportunity's Mars-surface mission (Dec. 5, 2006).
