The MastCam has finished imaging of different parts of the rover and we are driving again. On our way to Glenelg we will stop to analyse a basaltic rock. That will be useful to cross-calibrate the APXS and ChemCam analyses. The MastCam image (looking East) shows Mount Sharp in the distance, with the dark dune field below. In the middle distance, with rock outcrops, is Glenelg.
