Fram (crater)

Fram Crater is an impact crater in Meridiani Planum, on Mars. It was visited by the rover "Opportunity" on Sol 84, April 24,2004.

Fram spans about 8 meters (26 feet) in diameter. Opportunity paused beside it while traveling from the rover's landing site toward a larger crater, Endurance. Fram is located about 450 meters (0.3 miles) east of "Eagle Crater" and around 250 meters (820 feet) west of Endurance.

It is named for the famous Norwegian polar exploration vessel the "Fram".
