Topography of Mawrth Vallis
This colour-coded topographic image shows the Mawrth Vallis region of Mars. It was created from data collected by ESA’s Mars Express on 18 February 2023 during orbit 24164. 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 blue tones, while higher altitude regions show up in yellows and reds, as indicated on the scale to the top right.
North is to the right. The ground resolution is approximately 18 m/pixel and the image is centred at about 25°N/339°E.
