Anaglyph images can be created using data acquired by the nadir channel of the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) operated by DLR on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft (the field of view of which is aligned perpendicular to the surface of Mars) and one of the four oblique-viewing stereo channels. When viewed with red-blue or red-green glasses, these images give a three-dimensional view of the landscape. North is to the right of the image. The high image resolution clearly captures the diverse topography of this region including the distinctive linear structures in the northernmost crater, which trace the plastic flow of rock glaciers with debris on the surface.
