This image from NASA's Mars Perseverance rover, taken by the Mastcam-Z instrument's right eye, shows a collection of ridge-forming boulders. The rover acquired this image looking south along the ridge while exploring the "Westport" region of the outer crater rim on July 18, 2025 - Sol 1568, or Martian day 1,568 of the Mars 2020 mission - at the local mean solar time of 11:53:04.
