Looking here there is an article about Opportunity nearing Victoria crater - have a look at the picture from orbit - it looks very beautiful!

One thing I'm wondering about - will the rover be able to leave the crater once it has entered it?

^ This has a much larger version of the picture from orbit. You can even see the Opportunity's mast!

That picture in the first article would make a nice wallpaper. I'm pretty impressed that the thing is still running.
