Anaglyph image of Lycus Sulsi
Anaglyph images can be generated using data acquired by the nadir channel of the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board 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 between the lowland Amazonis Planitia in the north (right of the image) and the two landslide deposits of Lycus Sulci in the northwest of the volcano Olympus Mons (centre and left half of the image) is striking.
