Matijevic Hill

Matijevic Hill, named after American NASA engineer Jacob "Jake" Matijevic (1947 - 2012), is a hill located on "Cape York", itself on the western rim of Endeavour Crater lying within the Margaritifer Sinus quadrangle (MC-19) region of the planet Mars.

It was discovered by the Opportunity rover, and named by NASA on September 28, 2012.

The hill includes a rock outcrop called Kirkwood, where Opportunity found a concentration of small spherical features.

It also includes an area where clay minerals have been detected from orbiter observations.
