This image taken by NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity is a portion
of a mosaic acquired by the panoramic camera. The picture highlights the
light-toned outcrop on the rim of "Erebus Crater" and large, dark,
wind-deposited drifts that have filled the center of the crater.
Opportunity took this image on the rover's 608th sol (Oct. 9, 2005).
The rover is driving west, avoiding the large drifts and crossing the
low ripples and outcrop to the right. After traversing to the north of
the large drift on the horizon (near the center of the image), Opportunity
will drive south to the western rim of the crater.
