Robotic arm and Victoria Crater

Opportunity used its front hazard-identification camera to obtain this image of its robotic arm and Victoria Crater in the distance at the end of a drive on the rover's 1,271st Martian day, on August 21, 2007.

Because of sun-obscuring dust storms limiting the rover's supply of solar energy, Opportunity had not driven since Sol 1,232, July 12, 2007. On Sol 1,271, after the sky above Opportunity had been gradually clearing for more than two weeks, the rover rolled 13.38 meters.
