Lahontan Crater Looms This cylindrical-perspective 120-degree stereo image mosaic was created from three navigation camera images that NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Spirit acquired on sol 120. The image highlights a crater, approximately 70-meters (229.7 feet) in diameter, that scientists have informally named “"Lahontan."” This image also reveals a wind-ripple feature in the foreground and a distant look at the Columbia Hills on the Horizon. Spirit continues to journey toward the base of these hills, and should reach her first observation point before sol 160.
