Fienga - Lunexit Team)92 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) wide angle color composite image, obtained in December 2003, shows the middle of the three Tharsis Montes, Pavonis Mons.
This is a broad shield volcano - similar to the volcanoes of Hawaii - located on the Martian Equator at approx. 113° West. The Volcano Summit is near 14 Km (~8,7 mi) above the Martian Datum (such as 0 elevation); the central caldera (crater near center of image) is about 45 Km (~28 mi.) across and about 4,5 Km (~2.8 mi.) deep. Sunlight illuminates the scene from the lower left".

Oddly enough, it is a picture of Mars. What may appear to some as a terrestrial coastline is in fact a formation of ancient layered hills and wind-blown sand on Mars.
The above-pictured region spans about 3 Km in Schiaparelli Crater. What created the layers of sediment is still a topic of research. Viable hypotheses include ancient epochs of deposit either from running water or wind-blown sand. Winds and sandstorms have smoothed and eroded the structures more recently.
The "water" that appears near the bottom is actually dark colored sand. The image was taken with the Mars Global Surveyor Spacecraft that operated around Mars from 1996-2006 and returned over 200.000 images".
