3D anaglyph image of the Acheron Fossae region
Anaglyph images are generated from the nadir channel of the DLR-operated HRSC camera on ESA's Mars Express spacecraft, which is directed vertically on to the surface of Mars, and one of the four oblique stereo channels. When using red-blue or red-green glasses, these images provide a three-dimensional view of the landscape and give the viewer a spatial idea of the differences in altitude. Such a view provides an excellent opportunity to examine subtle topographic details, such as flow structures at the edges of Acheron Fossae or the horst-and-graben pattern of tectonic extension fractures.
