A digitally reconstructed, true-color map of Mars, revealing its entire surface. Features like the Tharsis volcanoes (taller than Earth's mountains), Valles Marineris (a canyon far exceeding the Grand Canyon), and the Hellas Planitia impact basin are clearly visible. The image is based on data from the Mars Global Surveyor's laser altimeter. Mars' northern lowlands and southern highlands are also depicted.
