Argyre and Hooke Crater perspective view
November 1, 2012
This computer-generated perspective view was created using data obtained from the High-Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on ESA’s Mars Express. Centred at around 45°S and 314°E, this image has a ground resolution of about 22 m per pixel. The lower right of the image shows the wind-formed dunes within Hooke Crater, while small deposits of frozen carbon dioxide ice lie within the crater, the top left of the image starts to show the more extensive ice lying on the surrounding Argyre Planitia.
