North is up (12 o'clock position) in this seam-corrected 360 degree polar
projection using downsampled images from sols 1 and 3. Seam boundaries
show different times of day, e.g. 9 o'clock (west) position shows scoop of
RA, 7 o'clock view shows the MET mast with telltale (mast contains three
temperature sensors).
Note: hummocky terrain with troughs, typical of Earth polar terrain where
we would see permafrost and ice beneath surface.
The Phoenix Mission is led by the University of Arizona, Tucson, on behalf
of NASA. Project management of the mission is by NASA's Jet Propulsion
