Blackwing1: The cliff in the Chemcam picture is only 20 feet high, approximately. The cliff face of the hill dubbed Kukenan in the overview map that is the big hill on the left of the panorama is about 100-250 feet high, depending on where you measure. On its front northern end the height is more, as much a 400 feet, depending on where you measure.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The image from the ChemCam is amazing.  Is it known what the elevation from the base of the cliff to the top is?  I cannot get any sense of scale from anything in the picture.

The panorama view of the foreground looks exactly like water-driven sand over rocks, while in the ChemCam picture I keep expecting to spot a growth of sagebrush somewhere.  It&#039;s amazing how completely different processes can result in the same effects.]]></description>

MDN: If you look at the highest resolution version of the panorama, you will see that there does not seem to a good match straight ahead in line with the dotted line. I thought that was the spot myself to begin with, but nothing fit. I then looked elsewhere for a place where more distant mountains AND a foreground cliff were in line, which is why I picked the spot with the arrow.

I also recognize there is guesswork here, so you might still be right.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Bob:

Looking at the multiple elevations behind the cliffs I think this is pretty much in line with the track of the red dotted line, and not where thr white arrow is pointing. There seems to be no further elevations visible in that area.

For what it’s worth.]]></description>
