"The 82nd anniversary of the Battle for the Wounded on the Neretva was marked on Saturday by laying flowers on the Memorial and lowering 82 carnations into the Neretva in Jablanica.

President of SABNOR BiH Sead Đulić said that the Battle of the Neretva is the most glorious and humane battle in the common history of the peoples of the former Yugoslavia.

'This year we mark the 80th anniversary of the victory over fascism, however, in all of this, it should be said that fascism was defeated militarily in 1945, but not destroyed,' Đulić said, among other things."

We know about Neretva Vallis in Jezero Crater, Mars, but do we know where the name cames from?

Well, here is the answer.

Riesiger Müllteppich im Neretva-Tal

Nach #Erdrutsche'n, #Starkregen und #Hochwasser im Süden #BosnienHerzegowina's treibt ein riesiger Müllteppich im Tal des Flusses #Neretva. Neun Tage nach der Katastrophe hält der Staudamm bei Grabovica derzeit den Unrat davon ab, weiter flussabwärts zu schwimmen, wie bosnische und kroatische Medien berichteten. Es droht aber eine großräumige #Umweltverschmutzung.

We haven't been blessed with new landscape mosaics from Perseverance lately, so here is an old one, revisited with the beautiful color treatment of the Mastcam-Z team at Arizona State University. The rover is currently climbing the higher mountain behind those yonder hills...
