| The
Twin Peaks are modest-size hills to the southwest of the Mars Pathfinder
landing site. They were discovered on the first panoramas taken by the IMP
camera on the 4th of July, 1997, and subsequently identified in Viking Orbiter
images taken over 20 years ago. The peaks are approximately 30-35 meters
tall. North Twin is approximately 860 meters from the lander, and South
Twin is about a kilometer away. |

The
scene includes bouldery ridges and swales or 'hummocks' of flood debris
that range from a few tens of meters away from the lander to the distance
of the South Twin Peak. The large rock at the right edge of the scene is
nicknamed 'Hippo'. This rock is about a meter across and 25 meters distant. |
