Walls of Candor Chasma


Candor Chasma
 
The High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board the ESA's Mars Express obtained this perspective view of Candor Chasma from image data taken on 2 May 2004. This view looks toward the north-west, along the north wall of Candor Chasma.

The image was taken during orbit 360 with a ground resolution of approximately 40 metres per pixel, showing a region centred around 5° South latitude and 285° East longitude.

This perspective view was calculated from the digital terrain model derived from the stereo channels.

The image was taken during orbit 360 with a ground resolution of approximately 40 metres per pixel. The image shows a region centred around 5° South latitude and 285° East longitude.

This 3D anaglyph image was created from the nadir channel and one of the stereo channels. Stereoscopic glasses are needed to view it.
