Anaglyph images can be generated using data acquired by the nadir channel of the High Resolution Stereo Camera system on ESA's Mars Express spacecraft, which is directed perpendicularly onto the surface of Mars, and one of the four oblique-viewing stereo channels. When viewed with red-blue or red-green glasses, they provide a three-dimensional view of the landscape and give the viewer a spatial idea of the differences in altitude. This offers impressive 'insights' into the unusual basins and pit chains in the lower part of the southern flank of the volcano Ascraeus Mons.
