This colour-coded topographic image shows the Idaeus Fossae region of Mars.
It was created from data collected by ESA’s Mars Express on 8 November 2024 (orbit 26325) and is based on a digital terrain model of the region, from which the topography of the landscape can be derived. Lower parts of the surface are shown in blues and purples, while higher altitude regions show up in whites and reds, as indicated on the scale to the top right.
North is to the right. The ground resolution of the original image is approximately 17 m/pixel and the image is centred at about 37°N/309°E.

[Image description: A colour-coded topographic map of a martian surface. The terrain is mostly pale yellow and pinkish, with several large circular craters filled with bright colours – green, blue, and purple – due to their depth.. Smaller craters and faint ridges are scattered across the scene. A scale bar at the top right indicates the height shown by different colours.]
