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 view from north to south of the central section of the 35 kilometre-wide (northern) impact craters, where after the impact of a large asteroid, a central massif formed several hundred metres high due to the "springing back" of the Martian surface.
In the background, the thousand metre-high crater rim can be seen.
