Cape Tribulation and Cape York make it to Mars


Here's an amazing photo taken by the NASA Mars Rover at Endeavour Crater on Mars.

The crater is named after British explorer, Captain James Cook's ship. The walls on the west have place-names like Cape Byron, Cape Tribulation and Cape York.

    According to The Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature the crater is named after a town in Canada.

    There seem to be a lot of nameless bumbs and blemishes. I wonder what it would cost to get one named after my shed?
