About "Sputnik" crater in Victoria.

Can anyone blow up the full 677 Mbyte HIRISE image here:

Mars Exploration Rover Landing Site at Meridiani Planum.

to focus on the small crater on the edge of Victoria dubbed "Sputnik"?
It's the roundish feature that appears below the "Duck Bay" label in this labeled HIRISE image of Victoria:

The 3-D image of Sputnik taken by the rover makes it look more like a gash than a round crater:
