This image may not be used to state or imply ESA endorsement of any company or product Nereidum mountains, Mars Express perspective image. These are the Nereidum Montes mountains on Mars, with this image centred at around 40 degrees S and 310 degrees E. In the foreground near to the crater, a mud or ice landslide is seen, possibly due to glacial processes. The striations along the slopes of both the right side of the inner crater wall and on the slopes of the range to the left of the crater indicate the presence of ice. Data obtained by the High-Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on Mars Express. The European Space Agency's Mars Express has been orbiting Mars since December 2003. Image published in 2012.
