    • Description

      This image was acquired by ESA's Mars Express during orbit 451 from an altitude of 590 kilometres with an original resolution of 29 metres per pixel.

      The unusual 'hourglass'-shaped structure, seen here at the top of the image, is located in the southern-hemisphere highland terrain of Promethei Terra at the eastern rim of the Hellas Basin, at about latitude 38º South and longitude 104º East.
