The black and white image shows several impact craters at the eastern border of Tyrrhena Terra. The western part of the scene is dominated by a 35 kilometre-wide and approximately 1000 metre-deep impact crater with an extremely cliffed and chiselled edge, rising up to 400 meters over the surrounding level.

The nadir channel is angled perpendicular to the surface and supplies the highest resolution of the HRSC. The images were acquired on 10 May 2007 in orbits 4294 with a ground resolution of approximately 15 metres per pixel.
