Ascuris Planum topography

The colour-coded topographic view shows relative heights and depths of terrain in the Ascuris Planum region Mars. Red/white represents the highest terrain, and blues and purples show lower terrain.

The digital terrain model is based on the data acquired by the High Resolution Stereo Camera on ESA’s Mars Express on 10 November 2014 during orbit 13785. The image is centred on 39ºN/281ºE. The ground resolution is about 18 m per pixel.
