A color image of the Martian surface from above looks like the bumpy, scaly skin of a reptile, with the high spots in shades of light turquoise and tan, and the crevices appearing a dark copper color. Among all this are a dozen oblong bumps, angled from the upper left toward lower right, also mainly copper-colored; some of them look like coffee beans, others resemble partially deflated, wrinkled balloons. They’re lighted from a source beyond the lower-left edge of the frame; on their shadowed sides, some have patches of white or light turquoise.
