This is what a dust storm must look like...

Now it REALLY looks like it...

Granted, late in the day, sun low in the sky which affects the stretching of the image that they do, but that's still looking very 'foggy'

Swop the end R for an L for a part-downloaded-differently-stretched-as-a-result-image that still looks very foggy.

Looking at the Pancam tracking page - that image on sol 627 was taken at the end of a drive, 628 is a fairly quiet remote obs day, ditto tosol, 629. I wonder what the Whr/sol might drop to and how much impact it will have on driving, they've just found a nice route down the western rim of Erebus after hiking a little N/NW
