When I first read the headline I thought something was wrong with the Mars Exploration Rovers and I started to worry but then I remembered that the Women of Mars are on the job and I knew that everything would be ok.

From Opportunity, sol 34.

Notice the strange column-like forms near the center of the image.

View from Opportunity, sol 34, of a large crater to the East (I think).

Notice the huge white outcrops on the crater wall.

The crater on the right in this image is the one seen in the image above - I think they've named it "East Crater".

Caption:
"This map of the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity's new neighborhood at Meridiani Planum, Mars shows remnants of the rover's landing, including its lander; backshell and parachute; first bounce mark; and the site where its heat shield impacted the surface. The image was taken by a camera onboard the Mars Global Surveyor orbiter"
