This view combines several frames taken by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity, looking into a valley to the west from the eastern side of a dune at the eastern end of the valley. The team operating Curiosity has chosen this valley as a likely route toward mid-term and long-term science destinations. The foreground dune, at a location called 'Dingo Gap', is about 3 feet (1 meter) high in the middle and tapered at south and north ends onto low scarps on either side of the gap. The component images were taken by Mastcam's left-eye camera during early afternoon, local solar time, of the 528th Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's work on Mars (Jan. 30, 2014). The largest of the dark rocks on the sand in the right half of the scene are about 2 feet (about 60 centimeters) across. The image has been white-balanced to show what the rocks would look like if they were on Earth.
