Curiosity rover's traverse
Scroll Right Scroll Left

This map shows the places inside the Gale Crater where NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has driven since landing at "Bradbury Landing," and traveling to an overlook position near "Point Lake", covering 1,703 feet. Curiosity was at the easternmost marker on this map on November 30, where it sampled soils at the "Rocknest" location. The place called "Glenelg" is where three types of terrain meet. The depression called "Yellowknife Bay" is a potential location for selecting the first target rock for Curiosity's hammering drill.
