Topography of the Mars Pathfinder Landing Site

Here we have the first HiRISE-produced digital terrain model of the Mars Pathfinder landing site.

Terrain here is relatively flat with only approximately 300 meters of relief, mostly due the largest crater in the scene and the hills dubbed “Twin Peaks,” first imaged by Pathfinder.
