So Near
The large, white rock on the local horizon at the left is now known as
Saddle Rock. In a post-mission map
of the immediate area, it is labeled '1107' and is about 65 meters from
Station C-prime (C'). The more distant of the two large rocks on
the right is labeled '1108' on the map and is only about 30 meters from
C'. The nearest point on the rim of Cone Crater is only about 70
meters beyond '1108'. After They leave C', they will make their
way to Saddle Rock for some quick samples. That will be
their closest approach to the rim - only about 35 meters
