The rim and interior of a crater nicknamed "Bonneville" dominate this
180-degree, false-color mosaic of images taken by the panoramic camera
of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit. Spirit recorded this view on
the rover's 68th sol, March 12, 2004, one sol after reaching this
location. The rover remaining here in part to get this very
high-resolution, color mosaic, from which scientists can gain insight
about the depth of the surface material at Bonneville and make future
observation plans. On sol 71, Spirit was instructed to drive
approximately 15 meters (49 feet) along the crater rim to a new vantage
point. The image is a false-color composite made from frames taken with the camera's L2, L5 and L6 filters.
