BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Rover nears crater science trove: "Nasa's robotic Mars rover Opportunity is closing in on what could be the richest scientific 'treasure trove' of its mission so far.
Within the next two weeks, Opportunity should reach the rim of a crater wider and deeper than any it has visited in more than two-and-a-half years on Mars.
Rocks exposed in the walls of Victoria Crater could open a new window into the geological history of the Red Planet.
Opportunity has been exploring Mars' Meridiani Plains since January 2004."
