Perspective view of Nili Fossae

This perspective view shows Nili Fossae, an escarpment sitting between the northern lowlands (lower right) and southern highlands (upper left) of Mars.

This oblique perspective was generated using data from ESA’s Mars Express High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC). This scene is part of a region imaged during Mars Express orbit 17916 on 26 February 2018, with the gathered data combined to form a detailed mosaic. The image covers a part of the martian surface centred on 78°E, 28°N. This view looks across the feature from south to north.
