A circular grayscale image from the Martian surface is skewed slightly left, so the horizon line runs from about the 8 o’clock position on a clock face to about 2 o’clock. Gritty, gravelly terrain in the foreground leads to a spiky, ragged outcrop with vertical ridges and grooves rising on the horizon.

A grayscale photo of a Martian landscape shows very rough and rocky terrain extending from the foreground to a horizon line in the distance that is angled down from the upper right corner of the image to the center left of the image. Rising from the horizon is a large mesa covering most of the upper part of the frame, with a curved slope rising on the left, then the rest of the mesa extending off the right edge of the frame, its top roughly parallel to the top of the image frame.
