Push in South of the Hellas Basin Showing Topography from MOLA: New Color Map


Zoom into the region of Mars just south of the Hellas Basin showing topography data from MOLA. This animation uses a color table designed to highlight the topography at the south pole. White colors indicate elevations in excess of 3012 meters, red shows elevations between 2500 and 3012 meters, yellow shows elevations from 2450 to 2500 meters, dark cyan shows elevations from 2150 to 2450 meters, dark violet shows elevations from 320 to 2150 meters.    Zoom into the region of Mars just south of the Hellas Basin showing topography data from MOLA.
