Mars topography, artwork C013 / 9936
Mars topography. Computer artwork based on satellite images, showing the surface of Mars. Seen here is the polar ice cap (white) of the Martian North Pole (Planum Boreum), composed mainly of frozen water and carbon dioxide. Surrounding the high polar plain (dark, centre) is a flat and featureless lowland plain known as Vastitas Borealis

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing topography of Mars, offering a glimpse into the enigmatic beauty of our neighboring planet. Created through computer artwork based on satellite images, it unveils the intricate details of Mars' surface with remarkable clarity. At its center lies the polar ice cap, an ethereal expanse cloaked in pristine white. Composed predominantly of frozen water and carbon dioxide, this majestic feature is situated at the Martian North Pole, known as Planum Boreum. Surrounding this high polar plain is Vastitas Borealis, a vast lowland plain that stretches endlessly across the landscape. Its flat and featureless nature adds to the mystique of this desert world. The image's black background accentuates every rocky formation and mountainous terrain that adorns Mars' surface. Each crater tells a story of cosmic collisions while showcasing planetary scars etched over eons. Valles Marineris, an awe-inspiring canyon system stretching for thousands of kilometers, stands out prominently alongside Olympus Mons – a colossal shield volcano towering above all others in our solar system. This artistic representation not only highlights Mars' geological wonders but also serves as a testament to human curiosity about distant worlds beyond our own. As we explore further into space and unravel more secrets about these celestial bodies, photographs like these remind us how truly extraordinary our universe is.
