Push in South of the Hellas Basin Showing Topography from MOLA


Zoom into the region of Mars just south of the Hellas Basin showing topography data from MOLA. Blue tones represent elevations of less than 2 kilometers, while reddish tones are greater than about 2.8 kilometers, relative to the mean equatorial height of Mars.    Zoom into the region of Mars just south of the Hellas Basin showing topography data from MOLA.
