Topography of Medusae Fossae
This colour-coded topographic image of Medusae Fossae was created from data collected by ESA’s Mars Express on 14 May 2021. 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 to the right. The ground resolution is approximately 19 m/pixel and the images are centred at about 192°E/2°N.
