Topography of Australe Scopuli
This colour-coded topographic view shows part of the Australe Scopuli region of Mars, deep in the planet’s southern hemisphere.
The image was created from data gathered by Mars Express’s High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on 16 June 2022 (orbit 23324). 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 are red, as indicated on the scale at the top right.
The ground resolution is approximately 15 m/pixel and the image is centred at about 239°E/84°S. North is to the right.
