McCool Hill on Mars
			
		
		
		
			You can make it.  
Winter is rapidly advancing on the southern hemisphere on 
Mars, 
and the lack of sunlight could be dangerous unless you find a good place to 
hibernate.   
There it is ahead: McCool Hill.  
As the 
robotic Spirit rover 
rolling across Mars, you are told that this will be a good place to spend the 
Martian winter.  
On the north slope of 
McCool Hill, 
you can tilt your 
solar panels 
toward the Sun enough to generate the power you need to keep running through the winter.  
Between you and McCool Hill is an unusual reddish outcropping of rocks.  
Also visible above, 
unusual layered rocks lie to your right, while 
other scattered rocks appear either 
smooth or 
sponge-like.  
Fortunately, there is still some time to explore, 
and the landscape before you may hold more clues to the history of
ancient Mars.
