NASA Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity used its front
hazard-identification camera to capture this wide-angle view of its
robotic arm extended to a rock in a bright-toned layer inside Victoria
Crater.
The image was taken during the rover's 1,322nd Martian day, or sol (Oct.
13, 2007).
Victoria Crater has a scalloped shape of alternating alcoves and
promontories around the crater's circumference. Opportunity descended into
the crater two weeks earlier, within an alcove called "Duck Bay."
Counterclockwise around the rim, just to the right of the arm in this
image, is a promontory called "Cabo Frio."
