The Farthest Shore (electronic edition) - This is a global view of Mars. Many different geologic features can be distin¬guished on the planet’s surface of mostly red-orange color. Huge volcanoes up to 24 km in height above the mean surface level are seen in the elevated Tharsis region at the left. They are partially obscured by the clouds in the very rarefied atmosphere (white patch¬es). The Valley Marineris, some hundreds of kilometers wide and 8 km deep, extends from just South of the equator for more than 3000 km. Cratered terrain is seen at higher southern latitudes. At the top of the image is the North polar cap, composed of water ice and overlying frozen carbon dioxide (“dry ice” deposits) formed during the Martian winter. (Courtesy of NASA)
