3D view of the landscape in Eumenides Dorsum
Anaglyph images can be generated using data acquired by the nadir channel of the DLR-operated HRSC camera system on ESA's Mars Express orbiter, which is directed perpendicularly to the surface of Mars, and one of the four oblique stereo channels. When used with red-blue or red-green glasses, they provide a three-dimensional view of the landscape. North is to the right in this image. The topography of the landscape, which is strongly influenced by the wind, is clearly visible. In the north, on the right of the image, numerous 'blowouts' can be seen. These are rounded depressions with a crescent-shaped accumulation of sand around them. The left half of the image is characterised by numerous parallel troughs that have been 'carved out' by the wind as if using a sandblaster.
