Echus Chasma, page two   Perspective view of Echus Chasma     14 July 2008   A 4000-m-high cliff marks the edge of the source area of Kasei Valles in its western part. Gigantic water falls may have once plunged over these cliffs on to the valley floor. The original shoreline is still partially visible. The remarkably smooth valley floor was later flooded by basaltic lava.   Images acquired in different orbits were combined to create the image mosaics, the map, as well as the colour-coded elevation model.         Echus Chasma, perspective view   The colour scenes have been derived from the three HRSC-colour channels and the nadir channel. The perspective views have been calculated from the digital terrain model derived from the stereo channels.       Echus Chasma, nadir view   The anaglyph image was calculated from the nadir and one stereo channel. The black and white high resolution images were derived from the nadir channel, which provides the highest level of detail.       Perspective view of Echus Chasma         Perspective view of Echus Chasma         Echus Chasma in 3-D       Back to page one     Mars Express image browser  •  - (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEMVZF77ESD_0.html) Related articles  •  Echus Chasma (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEM4CATHKHF_0.html)  •  Crater in martian valley Mamers Valles (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEMKPM0YUFF_0.html)  •  Hebes Chasma, a trough in the Grand Canyon of Mars (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEM565R03EF_0.html)  •  Icy Promethei Planum (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEMEX9M5NDF_0.html)  •  Deep valleys of Candor Chasma (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEM8Q7VHJCF_0.html)  •  ESA presents Mars in 3D (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEM8Q2PR4CF_0.html)  •  Traces of the martian past in the Terby crater (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEMSEWEMKBF_0.html)  •  Noctis Labyrinthus, labyrinth of the night (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEMWBK73R8F_0.html)  •  Hummocky and shallow Maunder crater (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEMOHJAMS7F_0.html)  •  The mysterious ridges at the mouth of Tiu Valles (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEMWZZMPQ5F_0.html)  •  Impact Craters in Tyrrhena Terra (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEM72PB474F_0.html)  •  Tectonic signatures at Aeolis Mensae (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEMF399OY2F_0.html) Related links  •  High Resolution Stereo Camera (http://berlinadmin.dlr.de/Missions/express/indexeng.shtml)  •  Behind the lens...
