Anaglyph image of a part of the Utopia Planitia region
Anaglyph images can be created from the nadir channel of the HRSC camera system operated by DLR on board the ESA Mars Express spacecraft, which is directed vertically onto the surface of Mars, and the oblique view from one of the four stereo channels. When using red-blue or red-green glasses, they provide a realistic, three-dimensional view of the landscape.
The labyrinth-like system of fractures that can be seen on the images consists of graben up to two kilometres wide that run back and forth and form polygon-shaped structures between five and 20 kilometres in diameter.
