The solar system's tallest mountain - the Martian volcano Olympus Mons, which stands about three times as tall as Mount Everest, is seen here in unprecedented 3-D detail. The image is part of newly released data from the Mars Express orbiter's High Resolution Stereo Camera. Known as a digital terrain model, the information provides the first comprehensive topographical look at much of the red planet's surface. The data will allow scientists to simulate "standing" on Martian cliffs, hillsides, lava flows, and desert plains�a vital tool for figuring out Mars's complex geography and chemistry. "This data is essential for understanding how water or lava flowed across Mars," said Gerhard Neukum, a professor at Freie Universit�t in Berlin, Germany, in a press statement.

This picture, taken on 14 January 2004, shows a vertical view of a 7.6-km-wide mesa in the true colors of Mars. The summit plateau stands about 3 km above the surrounding terrain. The original surface was dissected by erosion - only isolated mesas have remained intact.

BERJAYA
This image, taken on 14 January 2004 from a height of 275 km, shows an area 50 km across, containing features controlled by the action of tectonic plates. The location is south of Valles Marineris, a 4,000-km-long canyon running across the surface of the planet. North is at top.

BERJAYA
Taken on 14 January 2004 in the huge canyon Valles Marineris, this picture shows cliffs, flatish highlands known as mesas, and features which indicate erosion caused by the action of flowing water. The landscape is seen in a vertical view, with north at the bottom.
