Perspective view from the east into a crater in the southern highlands of Mars
Digital terrain models generated using data acquired by the stereo image channels of the HRSC camera system on ESA's Mars Express spacecraft can be used to create perspective views of the Martian landscape. This crater is located in the Aonia Terra region in the southern highlands of Mars. It has a diameter of 30 kilometres and lies in the middle of a network of former river valleys. The dark dune field in the middle of its crater floor consists of volcanic sands.
