Mars From Afar
Mesas
To some viewers, the spaghetti-like forms captured in this image may
at first glance appear raised from the surface, but they are
actually troughs separating layered mesas. Pitting and erosion
fashioned the mesas, which are lit by the sun from the lower left.
Dust cloaks the landscape, and large, wind-crafted ripples can be
seen on the trough floors. The image is slightly less than two miles
wide.
