Using the nadir channel, which is directed perpendicular to the Martian surface, and one of the oblique stereo channels of the HRSC camera, ‘anaglyph’ images can be generated. When viewed with red-blue or red-green glasses, they provide a three-dimensional view of the landscape. The high resolution of 22 metres per pixel allows even the smallest topographic features to be visualised – in particular the collapsed rocks in the striking 'chaotic terrain' at the channel bend along the lower edge of the image, as well as the mesas rising from the ancient Xanthe Terra highlands.
