Anaglyph images can be generated from data acquired by the nadir channel of the High Resolution Camera System (HRSC), which is directed perpendicularly to the surface of Mars, and one of the four obliquely viewing stereo channels. When using red-blue or red-green glasses, they provide a realistic, three-dimensional view of the landscape. North is on the right of the image. The impact crater, which is approximately 135 kilometres across, has a depth of up to 3500 metres. The central peak is about 2000 meters high.
