This somewhat oblique blue wide angle Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows the 174 km (~108 mi) diameter crater, Terby, and its vicinity in December 2004. Located north of Hellas, this region can be covered with seasonal frost and ground-hugging fog, even in the afternoon, despite being north of 30°S. The subtle, wavy pattern is a manifestation of fog.

Location near: 28°S, 286°W
Illumination from: upper left
Season: Southern Winter
