This image comprises data gathered by Mars Express\u2019s High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on 24 October 2024 (orbit 26273). It was created using data from the nadir channel, the field of view\u00a0aligned perpendicular to the surface of Mars, and the colour channels of the HRSC. North is to the right. The ground resolution is approximately 16 m\/pixel and the image is centred at about 37\u00b0N\/220\u00b0E.<\/p>\n

Image description:<\/i>\u00a0A high-resolution colour image of the western edge of Acheron Fossae on Mars, showing a rugged landscape of deep fissures, valleys, and meandering channels. The terrain features alternating raised and lowered blocks (horsts and grabens), with smooth valley floors filled by slow-moving ice-rich rock. Labels highlight key geological features such as fossae, knobs, mesas, and impact craters. North is to the right.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
