A bird’s-eye view of Arcadia Planitia
This view offers a perspective of Arcadia Planitia as if viewing the scene from above, and was generated from the digital terrain model and the nadir and colour channels of the High Resolution Stereo Camera on ESA’s Mars Express.
[Image description: A high-resolution, colour-enhanced satellite view of a Martian landscape. It features a boundary between two different surface regions. The upper left patch is more yellow, with a grey boundary diving it from a larger red patch at the bottom right. The surface appears barren, dry, rough and rocky. The different colours suggest elevation changes or different types of material.]
