#Curiosity is currently 50 meters from the top of the elusive Gediz Vallis ridge, and right in front of an array of ridge rocks, ready to “snack” on for a few sols.

Some of these rocks got named after famous places on Earth, e.g. Επίδαυρος (the ancient theater), Μύτικας (the summit of Mt. Olympus), Χελμός (where the springs of Styx), and Πάτμος (where the Book of Revelation was written).
