|
|
Fram is an impact crater on the Meridiani Planum extraterrestrial plain, in the Margaritifer Sinus quadrangle (MC-19) region of the planet Mars. It was visited by the rover Opportunity (MER-B) on Sol 84, April 24, 2004. Fram is about in diameter. Opportunity paused beside it while travelling from the rover's landing site toward a larger crater, Endurance. Fram is about east of the crater Eagle and around west of Endurance. It is named after the famous Norwegian polar exploration vessel the Fram, a ship used by many famous Norwegian explorers such as Fridtjof Nansen, Otto Sverdrup, Oscar Wisting, and Roald Amundsen. |
