The crater is quoted as being 230 feet deep ? Those cliffs look about just less than half the depth, 100 feet, 33m, by my rough guestimating..............

Hey Climber,

Would you like to have a go at this? Any good climbing routes?

Mosaics, mosaics!

Nobody will post one for tosol seven navcam frames?

We need some sunlight on that face. Look at all the layering. Look at the huge rocks.

I don't know what to do...To laugh histerically or cry emotionally...
And looks like (on the lower left corner) someone from the Near Rim Team left a bat behind after the fight...

Is that a cricket bat? It looks more like an old encyclopaedia volume to me.

I think if you look around the crater you will see that the cliffs do't extend down 50% of the way into the crater, certainly the far bluffs look closer to 12m than 30m. Time to load up Agorimancer's parallax calculator.

For some reason I'm reminded of the opening scene of Total Recall...

The near cliffs are higher, 30.5 m

Can someone explain why Victoria is so fluted ?

differential weathering.

Moving the topic onto Duck Bay....

A very superficial explanation would be erosion along fractures. What began as cracks in the ancient crater grew and grew as wind, sand sliding down those cracks, occasional mass wasting, and lots and lots of time, allowed them to grow(backward) into capes and bays.
