This page describes an image Mars
Caption: This image of the planet Mars taken by NASA's Mars Global Surveyor Orbiter in 1999 shows its dry surface. The picture features the most spectacular geological regions on Mars. Besides the deep Valles Marineris valley we see four volcanoes. While three of them form the Tharsis ridge, the Olympus Mons is largest volcano we have so far discovered in the Solar System. Ice clouds cover parts of the Martian surface.

Caption: Cette image de la planète Mars prise par l'orbiteur Mars Global Surveyor de la NASA en 1999 montre sa surface sèche. L'image montre les régions géologiques les plus spectaculaires de Mars. Outre la profonde vallée Marineris, on y voit quatre volcans. Trois d'entre eux forment la crête de Tharsis, tandis qu'Olympus Mons est le plus grand volcan découvert à ce jour dans le Système Solaire. Des nuages de glace couvrent une partie de la surface martienne.

Caption: Questa immagine del pianeta Marte, scattata dal Mars Global Surveyor Orbiter della NASA nel 1999, mostra la sua superficie asciutta. L'immagine presenta le regioni geologiche più spettacolari di Marte. Oltre alla profonda "Valles Marineris", vediamo quattro vulcani. Tre di essi formano la dorsale di Tharsis, mentre "Olympus Mons" è il più grande vulcano finora scoperto nel Sistema Solare. Nubi di ghiaccio ricoprono parte della superficie marziana.
