On the Edge of Yellowknife Bay

In a shallow depression called "Yellowknife Bay," the NASA Mars rover Curiosity drove to an edge of the feature during the 130th Martian day, or sol, of the mission (December 17, 2012) and used its Navigation Camera to record this view of the ledge at the margin and a view across the "bay."
