This map shows the route driven by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover from the location where it landed in August 2012 to its location in mid-November 2015, approaching examples of dunes in the "Bagnold Dunes" dune field. The traverse line covers drives completed through the 1,165rd Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's work on Mars (Nov. 15, 2015). The base image for this map is from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. North is up. The dark ground south of the rover's route is the Bagnold Dunes of dark, wind-blown material at the foot of Mount Sharp. The scale bar at lower right represents two kilometers (1.2 miles). http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA20162
