This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows a 1.4 meters per pixel (~5 ft/pixel) view of an eroded landscape north of the crater, Antoniadi, in far eastern Arabia Terra. Each knob and butte in this image is a remanant of a formerly more-extensive layered rock unit that has been largely eroded away.
