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 southwest to northeast with a so-called "Double Impact Crater" in the foreground. This probably resulted from the near-simultaneous impact of two projectiles flying next to each other.
At the time of this relatively recent impact, ice lay beneath the surface causing some of the unusual land formation.
