Anaglyph image of the Mawrth Vallis region
Anaglyph images can be generated using data acquired by the nadir channel of the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) 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 used with red-blue or red-green glasses, they allow a three-dimensional view of the landscape and give the viewer a spatial idea of the differences in altitude. When viewed in this way, the transition from the Martian highlands in the south (left half of the image) to the northern lowlands (right half of the image) is particularly striking. In also enables many topographical details to be seen at the edges of the various impact craters.
