Itinerary description

Left hand track to the Western side of the crater row.
On track B there is a steep slope. A rope helps to walk up. The track is more difficult than track A. I would recommend not to go back on track B. It is possible to join track A through an easy passable valley.
From the west side you can see more craters and you can get closer to them (situation in april!)
