Perspective view of Mawrth Vallis (2)
This oblique perspective view of the Mawrth Vallis region of Mars was generated from the digital terrain model and the nadir and colour channels of the High Resolution Stereo Camera on ESA’s Mars Express. It shows light-toned clays – the most widespread such deposits found on Mars – overlaid by darker ‘caps’ of volcanic origin.
