Uploader comment: Colour image of the southernmost portion of Phlegra Montes on Mars, a complex system of isolated hills, ridges and small basins that spans over 1400 km from the Elysium volcanic region at about 30ºN and deep into the northern lowlands at about 50°N. The image was acquired by the High Resolution Stereo Camera on ESA’s Mars Express on 8 October 2014 during orbit 13670 and is centred on 31ºN / 160ºE.
