Colour view of the south of Phlegra Montes

Colour view of the south of Phlegra Montes
This image was generated from the HRSC nadir channel and the colour channels. The shading of the predominant ochre colour indicates differences in the material in the plain, which is made of solidified lava flow. The variations in the roughness of the surface between the individual mountains of Phlegra Montes, are evidence that different geological processes such as landslides or former glaciation have contributed to the formation of the landscape.
