Topography of Colles Nili

The colour-coded topographic view shows relative heights and depths of terrain in the Colles Nili region on Mars. Red and white represent the highest terrain, and blues and purples show lower terrain (see key).

The image is based on a digital terrain model of the region, from which the topography of the landscape can be derived.

The region was imaged by the High Resolution Stereo Camera on ESA’s Mars Express on 29 May 2016 during orbit 15727. The image is centred on 36ºN/60ºE and the ground resolution is about 15 m per pixel.
