001-This perspective view taken by the ESA's Mars Express spacecraft shows a crater with water ice, looking east
002-Overnight surface temperatures of the giant Rabe Crater on Mars' southern highlands are revealed by the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) on NASA's Mars Odyssey spacecraft. Portions of both the crater's flat floor and pit as well as a large dune field are seen. Rabe Crater sits halfway between the Martian equator and south pole, and west of the giant impact basin Hellas. It spans 67 miles (108 kilometers) and is one of hundreds of thousands of impact craters in the rough southern highlands.
003-A close-up view of the Martian happy face, aka Crater Galle.
004-This image from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment on NASAs Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows "Victoria Crater," an impact crater at Meridiani Planum, near the equator.

005-This vertical view shows the complex caldera at the summit of Olympus Mons on Mars, the highest volcano in our Solar System. Olympus Mons has an average elevation of 13.6 miles(22 kilometers) and the caldera is some 1.8 miles (3 kilometers) deep. This is the first high-resolution color image of the complete caldera of Olympus Mons. It was taken with the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on ESA's Mars Express. The image is about 63.3 miles (102 kilometers) across. South is at the top.
006-This perspective view of the caldera of the Olympus Mons volcano on Mars has been calculated from a digital elevation model derived from the stereo channels and combined with the nadir and color channels of the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on ESA's Mars Express. The data was retrieved during orbit 143 of ESA's Mars Express spacecraft on February 24, 2004. The view is looking north.
007-This image, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA's Mars Express spacecraft, shows a part of the southern highlands of Mars, called Promethei Terra. It was taken during orbit 368 on May 5, 2004 with a ground resolution of approximately 14 meters per pixel. It shows a large impact crater in the Promethei Terra region, east of the Hellas Planitia impact basin. The crater is 19.8 miles (32 kilometers) wide and up to 3937 feet (1,200 meters) deep. This color image has been processed using the nadir (vertical view) and three color channels.

008-This image, taken by the Mars Express' HRSC, shows Crater Hale in the Argyre basin of the southern hemisphere of Mars. The image shows an area close to the northern rim of the Argyre basin, Slight periodic color and brightness variations in pars of the image indicate atmospheric waves in clouds.
009-Visualization of the Gusev Crater during the process of disappearing lakes. A possible view of Mars some billion years ago. The rocks in the photo are added. The artist used a few photos of the Spirit Rover in the post-processing of this rendering. The view is in the direction of the south-east rim of the crater... at the right the outlet of the Maadim Vallis. Credit: Artist rendering by Kees Veenenbos based on real spacecraft data.
010-Shown above is the Lyot Crater in the Vastitas Boleares in the aftermath of a dust storm with sun streaks. View at dawn from northeast to southwest. Some haze in the crater lightens up at the horizon the Deuteronilus Mensae. The Lyot Crater is 146.6 miles (236 kilometers) in diameter.
011-This feature on Mars is a candidate cavern entrance, a spot-on feature northeast of Arsia Mons - one of the four giant Tharsis volcanoes on the red planet.
012-This feature on Mars is a candidate cavern entrance, a spot-on feature northeast of Arsia Mons - one of the four giant Tharsis volcanoes on the red planet.
