Anaglyph images can be created using data from the nadir channel in the HRSC camera system, which looks vertically down at Mars, and one of the four stereo channels, which are aligned obliquely with respect to the surface. By using red/blue (cyan) or red/green glasses, a three-dimensional impression of the landscape can be obtained. North is to the right in the image. The high resolution of 22 metres per pixel enables even small differences in altitude to be seen, for example the (lower) course of the valleys of Tagus Valles to the right of the striking crater in the upper left corner of the image, which originate to the south (left) of the landscape shown here.
