The High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on ESA's Mars Express probe makes it possible to produce computer perspective images of landscapes from different points of view.
This image shows a perspective view from the direction lying NNE to SSW. Around the larger two craters (in the foreground) you can see clearly several layers, which were formed from material ejected in the course of the impact. These Ejekta extend up to 50 kilometres into the surrounding area. The distinctive shapes are a sign of the possible presence of ice or water underground at the time of impact.
