Cape York is a location on Mars, on the western rim of Endeavour crater.[1] The Opportunity rover spent about two years exploring this portion of the rim in the early 2010s before moving south.[1] The CRISM instrument on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter identified clay smectites in an area of Cape York, and the rover was sent to explore this location.[1] MER-B Opportunity spend its fifth Martian Winter at Greeley Haven at Cape York, and also took a panorama at that location.[2] MER-B spent 19 weeks stationed at Greeley Haven surviving the winter and went on the move again in May 2012, to further explore Cape York.[3]
MER-B arrived at Cape York in 2011 at Odyssey crater, which is on the southern end of the feature.[4] Opportunity arrived at Endeavour crater on sol (August 9, 2011), at a landmark called Spirit Point named after its rover twin, after traversing 13disp=flipNaNdisp=flip from Victoria crater, over a three-year period.[5] Spirit point was the name selected for where MER-B arrived at Endeavour's Cape York, a journey which it set out on in 2008 and it arrived there in the summer of 2011.[6]
