Topographic overview map of the region around Hadley Crater
Hadley Crater on Mars has been subject to several impacts by large asteroids in the course of its history. The 'craters within a crater' formed in this way give us a view of over two kilometres into the Martian crust. The images were acquired with the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on 9 April 2012 during Mars Express' orbit 10,572. The images reproduced here are located in the smaller, inner rectangle.
