The route of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit, from its landing site
to its location on sol 72 (March 16, 2004) near the rim of the large
crater dubbed "Bonneville" is pictured here on this traverse map. The
map consists of data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor orbiter and NASA's
Mars Odyssey orbiter. The varying terrains surrounding Bonneville--crater
floor, crater wall, crater rim, crater ejecta (material ejected from the
crater) and intercrater plains--are highlighted in different colors.
