To favor the wheels, Curiosity’s rover-drivers are keeping it on softer soil. This collects in hollows and swales that lie between areas of higher ground, usually rock-strewn. One such hollow, Robert Frost Pass, lies ahead at top left. With a mission emphasis on driving and the ground being suitable, the last two sols have seen drives of more than 130 meters (420 feet) each.
