Tantalus Fossae on Mars
This image from ESA’s Mars Express shows part of a large fault system on Mars known as Tantalus Fossae.
This image comprises data gathered by Mars Express’ High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on 19 July 2021. It was created using data from the nadir channel, the field of view aligned perpendicular to the surface of Mars, and the colour channels of the HRSC. It is a ‘true colour’ image, reflecting what would be seen by the human eye if looking at this region of Mars.
The ground resolution is approximately 18 m/pixel and the images are centred at about 43°N/257°E. North is to the right.
