Bird’s-eye view of craters in Noachis Terra
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 two smaller craters lying near to the large Kaiser Crater in Mars’s ancient southern highlands (Noachis Terra).
[Image description: An orange-tan-coloured patch of Mars, dominated by two circular craters slightly to the lower left and upper right of the frame. The craters are both surrounded by slightly mottled land. A soft darker line coming downwards from the upper right crater indicates a steep ridge in the landscape. Overall, the image looks three dimensional, with the bottom part of the frame appearing closer and the top part appearing farther away. It appears that the light is coming from the lower left.]
