THEMIS Vistas Gallery >> The River Delta in Eberswalde Crater

AN ANCIENT RIVER DELTA lies at right foreground inside Eberswalde Crater. This view looks south, with Holden Crater (154 km wide) in the distance. Exploring the delta's sediments would be a planetary geologist's dream, but landing the Mars Science Laboratory rover safely there may prove highly difficult given the rough terrain.
