The image was taken during orbit 334 in April 2004 with a ground resolution of approximately 36 metres per pixel. The displayed region is located at about longitude 288° East and latitude 4° South. This colour image was processed using the nadir and colour channels of the HRSC.


 
Map of the section of the surface of Mars showing context and the region covered by the Ophir Chasma images. This is situated to the north of Melas Chasma, about halfway along the Valles Marineris system.


 
This image, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft, shows the Ophir Chasma, a northern part of the Valles Marineris canyon.

The image was taken during orbit 334 in April 2004 with a ground resolution of approximately 36 metres per pixel. The displayed region is located at about longitude 288° East and latitude 4° South. This anaglyph image has been created from the nadir and one stereo channel.


 
This image, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft, shows a section of the Ophir Chasma, a northern part of the Valles Marineris canyon.

This perspective view was calculated from the digital terrain model derived from the stereo channels. It shows a view looking west across the slopes of collapsed material at the northern end of the valley, with the scarp on the right.


 
This image, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft, shows a section of the Ophir Chasma, a northern part of the Valles Marineris canyon.

This perspective view was calculated from the digital terrain model derived from the stereo channels. It shows a view looking north-east, from the southern end of the Chasma, showing the Candor Chaos region in the foreground.


 
This image, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft, shows a section of the Ophir Chasma, a northern part of the Valles Marineris canyon.

This close-up perspective view was calculated from the digital terrain model derived from the stereo channels. It shows a view looking north towards the 5000-metre high northern scarp with its piles of collapsed material, seen at the top of the image. The smooth, rounded Baetis Mensa ridge can be seen on the left.
