Part of the Imhotep region on Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko’s large lobe; the image was taken by the OSIRIS narrow-angle camera on 5 September 2014. The region shows a wide range of complex terrain: smooth terrain, layering of this material at its margin, smooth material on topographically higher surfaces, circular structures, and layered consolidated material rising towards a 650 m-diameter raised semicircular structure. Fracturing of the consolidated material is evident throughout.

A labelled version of this image is available here.
