Anaglyph image of the 'Holden Basin'
Anaglyph images can be generated using data acquired by the nadir channel (oriented perpendicularly towards the surface of Mars) of the DLR-operated HRSC camera system on ESA's Mars Express spacecraft 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 and give the viewer a comprehensible impression of the differences in altitude. For example, it is only here that one can see how majestically the southern slope of the basin (left in the picture) rises above the flat plateau at the edge of the basin and how deeply the rugged areas of the chaotic regions cut into the basin floor. North is to the right in the image.
