After a finishing an in-and-out maneuver to check wheel slippage near the
rim of Victoria Crater, NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity
re-entered the crater during the rover's 1,293rd Martian day, or sol,
(Sept. 13, 2007) to begin a weeks-long exploration of the inner slope.
Opportunity's front hazard-identification camera recorded this wide-angle
view looking down into and across the crater at the end of the day's
drive. The rover's position was about six meters (20 feet) inside the rim,
in the "Duck Bay" alcove of the crater.
