the scenic overlooks of mars

the perseverence team parked the rover where it could get a good view of belva crater, which is adjacent to jezero delta. jezero delta is where the rover is roving, seeking out fossilized life, or evidence of it¹. the rover isn't going to descend into the crater, and i'm not sure there's a slope shallow enough where it could even if the team wanted to look around there.
a very nice gentleman named Olivier de Goursac worked up NASA's images into an 3D panorama, which was originally linked from here. but since i don't think people are necessarily interested in that forum, i've relinked the image here.

1: i have my doubts that there ever was such life, and i'm no longer convinced that the hypothesis is falsifiable. i'd rather we spend our money where there might be extant life, but i don't make these decisions.
