Perspective view of Mars’s north polar region
This oblique perspective view of the region surrounding Mars's north pole 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 a vast swathe of rippled sand dunes in the foreground; kilometre-high icy cliffs and escarpments beyond these dunes; and smoother layers of dust and ice in the distance.
