Crater near Opportunity Landing Site

A Crater near the Opportunity Landing Site
This lovely impact crater shows distinct boulder tracks on the right-hand side, suggesting recent (perhaps ongoing?) rockfalls. There is no sign of recurring slope lineae, but if any were to happen in this region, this would be a likely location. One of our goals is to take a few monitoring images and track any changes.
