Topographic map of Mars’s Coloe Fossae region
This colour-coded topographic image shows the Coloe Fossae region of Mars.
It was created from data collected by ESA’s Mars Express on 19 October 2024 (orbit 26257) and is based on a digital terrain model of the region, from which the topography of the landscape can be derived. Lower parts of the surface are shown in blues and purples, while higher altitude regions show up in whites and reds, as indicated on the scale to the top right.
North is to the right. The ground resolution is approximately 16 m/pixel and the image is centred at about 39°N/54°E.
[Image description: A colour-coded topographic map of a section of Mars. Large circular craters and long diagonal ridges dominate the terrain. Colours range from green and yellow for lower areas to red for higher ground, with deep blue marking the lowest regions on the right edge. The surface appears rugged and uneven, highlighting variations in elevation.]
