This colour image was created using the HSRC nadir and colour channels.


 
Valles Marineris is a canyon on Mars. The displayed region is located at the southern rim of the Melas Chasma at Mars latitude 12°S and Mars longitude 285°E.


 
On 2 May 2004, the High-Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board the ESA Mars Express spacecraft obtained images from the central area of the Mars canyon called Valles Marineris. The images were taken at a resolution of approximately 16 metres per pixel. The displayed region is located at the southern rim of the Melas Chasma at Mars latitude 12°S and Mars longitude 285°E. The images were taken on orbit 360 of Mars Express.

This 3-D image (anaglyph) was created from the nadir channel of the HRSC together with one stereo channel.

This perspective view was created by using the stereo channels of the HRSC to produce a digital model of the terrain.
