Fig. 1. Topographic map of the region around the InSight landing site.

Fig. 1

The map shows InSight (NSY) and major physiographic features as well as the landing sites of the Viking Lander 2 (VL2), Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity in Gale crater, and the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Spirit in Gusev crater. InSight landed near the dichotomy boundary between the heavily cratered highlands to the south and the northern lowlands. Volcanic flows from Elysium Mons flowed to the south and very young lavas from Cerberus Fossae flowed down Athabasca Valles to 150 km to the east of the lander. The map is a portion of the MOLA shaded relief topographic map of Mars with elevations with respect to the geoid.
