Martian landscape. This image was taken to observe bedrock exposures in a crater wall in the Acidalia region of Mars. Other nearby pictures showed bedrock that is at least 1,000 meters thick, with hints of columnar jointing. Our goal is to analyse in detail the layering and joint patterns that would help determine the nature of the bedrock. Image is less than 5 km (3 mi) across and is 303 km (188 mi) above the surface. An unique optimised version of an original NASA image. Credit: NASA
