Claritas Fossae tectonic region on Mars   Claritas Fossae   31 March 2004   These Mars Express images show Claritas Fossae, an ancient tectonic region on Mars, west of Solis Planum, a tectonic and volcanic area south-east of the Tharsis volcano group.   The images were taken by the High-Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on Mars in orbit 68 from an altitude of 271 km. The images are centred at 255.7° East and 30.9° North. North is on the left.       3D view   The above 3D image has been created from the nadir-channel (vertical view) and one stereo-channel of the camera. North is again on the left. This image requires stereoscopic glasses to view.       Claritas Fossae (high-res black and white)   The resolution of the black and white version (available as a very high-resolution jpeg) is about 17 metres per pixel.     Looking at Mars  •  - (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/index.html) Mars Express image browser  •  - (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEMVZF77ESD_0.html) Recent images  •  View of deposits in Melas Chasma on Mars (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEMFKTV4QWD_0.html)  •  Fractured crater near Valles Marineris (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEMG6OV4QWD_0.html)  •  'Yardangs' on Mars (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEMN6GV4QWD_0.html)  •  Northern rim of Hellas basin (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEMB5UL26WD_0.html)  •  Melas Chasma, in Valles Marineris (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEM69E3VQUD_0.html)  •  Evidence of flooding at Mangala Valles (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEM4SS2VQUD_0.html)  •  Arsia Mons volcano in 3D (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEM2EAHHZTD_0.html)  •  Deep faults and disrupted crater at Acheron Fossae (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEMKRR77ESD_0.html)  •  Western flank of Olympus Mons (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEM59O67ESD_0.html)  •  Louros Valles, south of Ius Chasma (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEM6TZ57ESD_0.html) More information  •  High Resolution Stereo Camera (http://berlinadmin.dlr.de/Missions/express/indexeng.shtml)  •  Behind the lens...
