re: A volcanic fissure at Victoria crater?

This shows a simulated view from NASA of Opportunity at the Cabo Frio promontory which would require the rover to go past the Sputnik "crater".
Perhaps this suggests an intention of moving the rover in that direction?

Opportunity on 'Cabo Frio' (Simulated)
"This image superimposes an artist's concept of the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity atop the 'Cabo Frio' promontory on the rim of 'Victoria Crater' in the Meridiani Planum region of Mars. It is done to give a sense of scale. The underlying image was taken by Opportunity's panoramic camera during the rover's 952nd Martian day, or sol (Sept. 28, 2006)."
