This view was generated from the digital terrain model and the nadir and colour channels of the High Resolution Stereo Camera on ESA’s Mars Express. It shows a bird’s-eye view of part of Shalbatana Vallis, a large channel near Mars’s equator.
[Image description: Looking down on a patch of Mars's surface, with a winding canyon carving from the left to the right of the frame. On the left, the canyon widens and is filled with lumpy, knobbly terrain. On the right, the canyon is more straight and streamlined. Surrounding the canyon is more lumpy terrain, but on top of a smoother surface.]
