Curiosity: Rocks and sand rise toward the ridge

1739-navcamSol 1739, June 28, 2017. Curiosity’s Navcam has captured the ground leading up to Vera Rubin Ridge and also Mt. Sharp rising in the distance behind. The rover is driving eastward, perhaps to go around the sand patch seen at left. Mission controllers are maneuvering the rover toward a place where it can easily drive up onto the ridge.
