Head for the Hills

Wide view of Mars horizon from surface with hills in distance
In the distance stand the east hills, which are closest to the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit in comparison to other hill ranges seen on the Martian horizon. The top of the east hills are approximately 2 to 3 kilometers (1 to 2 miles) away from the rover's approximate location. This image was taken on Mars by the rover's panoramic camera.

The Mars Exploration Rover Spirit may eventually head in the direction of the East Hills, seen above. These hills are closest to Spirit in comparison to other hill ranges seen on the Martian horizon. The top of the East Hills are approximately 2 to 3 kilometers (1 to 2 miles) away from the rover’s approximate location.Photo Credit: NASA/JPL/Cornell+ View Full Frame Image+ High Resolution Photo+ View All of Today’s Photos+ Complete Mars Exploration Rover Image Collection+ View Spirit’s First Photos
