This cratered surface of Mars was photographed by Mariner 6's wide angle TV camera on July 30, 1969 at a range of 3,459 kilometers (2,150 miles). The area measures 901 kilometers (560 miles) by 692 kilometers (430 miles) and is located southeast of Meridiani Sinus about 15 degrees below the equator. The large crater at right is about 257 kilometers (160 miles) in diameter.
