Summary

[edit]
Description

This Mars Express HRSC image captures the boundary between the Martian highlands (at right) and the north polar plains (at left). The rugged boundary between the two can be seen in the Protonilus Mensae, a cluster of buttes left over from intense erosion. Large dust and water vapor clouds can be seen streaming across the landscape. Wave clouds, formed by standing gravity waves on the lee side of large craters, are a typical feature of the northern lowlands.

This image was made using a blue/green image pair taken during Mars Express' 12,051st orbit around Mars, June 23, 2013. These images were heavily modified to produce a usable landscape image.
