Topography of Jovis Tholus
This colour-coded topographic image of the Jovis Tholus shield volcano and surrounding features was created from data collected by ESA’s Mars Express. It 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 up.
The ground resolution is approximately 17 m/pixel and the images are centred at about 242°E/19°N.
