This image, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft, shows Crater Hale in the Argyre basin of the southern hemisphere of Mars.

The image is centred at latitude 36° South and longitude 324° East. The image was taken with a ground resolution of about 40 metres per pixel during Mars Express orbit 533 in June 2004.

Crater Hale, with its terraced walls, central peak and a part of the inner ring is visible in the upper (eastern) part of the image.

This close-up image, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft, shows part of the walls of Crater Hale in the Argyre basin.

The image was taken with a ground resolution of about 40 metres per pixel during Mars Express orbit 533 in June 2004.

The image shows a section of the southern rim of Hale, where parts of the crater wall have moved downslope towards the crater’s centre.

This close-up image, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft, shows part of the Argyre basin near Crater Hale.

The image is shows an area to the west of Crater Hale. The image was taken with a ground resolution of about 40 metres per pixel during Mars Express orbit 533 in June 2004.

The surface shows a network of fluvial channels which may have been caused by running water.
