This image shows Mars’s Trouvelot Crater and the surrounding plains of Arabia Terra in wider context.

A large dotted square highlights the area of Mars featured in new images from the ESA Mars Express High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC), released in March 2026. The two smaller boxes within mark the precise patch of surface shown in the images, captured by Mars Express on 12 October 2024 (orbit 26233). The elevation of the surface, shown by the bright colours marking the surface of Mars, is indicated by the scale to the bottom-right.

[Image description: A colourful global map of Mars is shown on a black background. The planet appears in bright elevation colours – greens and yellows for mid‑levels, blues for low areas, and reds for highlands. White lines point to features on the map: the north pole at the top, and Arabia Terra on the right side, described as an ancient highland plain. A zoomed‑in inset box on the left highlights the location of several craters and valleys, marked with labels such as Trouvelot Crater and Chryse Planitia. The ESA logo appears in the top right corner.]
