NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity took this image during the its 274th martian day, or sol, (Oct. 31, 2004) to provide rover planners with a fresh look at the planned drive direction. The rover is making its way eastward inside "Endurance Crater" toward the base of a steep exposure of layered rock called "Burns Cliff."
