A 3D stereo view of the Martian surface, featuring the Sojourner rover, its ramp, airbags, and notable rocks nicknamed "Barnacle Bill" and "Yogi Rock." The image was captured by the Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP), showing the rover's landing site with a dramatic 3D effect visible with red/blue glasses. The landscape includes the angular rock formation known as "the couch" on the horizon.

Sojourner rover, a small robotic vehicle, explores the Martian surface near a large, two-toned rock nicknamed "Yogi." The rock's contrasting colors are believed to be due to wind-blown dust accumulation. The Pathfinder lander is in the background. This image depicts the extended mission phase of the Pathfinder mission.

A black and white image of Yogi Rock, a large boulder on Mars, taken by the Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) on Sol 3. The rock is situated in a lighter-colored, moat-like terrain, possibly indicating past water activity. The surrounding area is strewn with smaller rocks and pebbles. The Sojourner rover is studying Yogi Rock closely.
