Perspective view of a part of the ancient highland region Terra Cimmeria
Terra Cimmeria is located in the Mars highlands and is one of the oldest landscapes on Mars. The striking shades of light and dark are caused by differences in the mineralogy of the surface material. The HRSC (High Resolution Stereo Camera) images of this region were taken on 11 December 2018 during orbit 18,904. The image resolution is about 13 meters per pixel. This perspective oblique view was generated from the terrain model data as well as the nadir channel and the colour channels of the HRSC.
