Flight Over Korolev Crater on Mars
This movie, based on images taken by ESAs Mars Express, showcases the 82 km wide Korolev crater on Mars. Located in the northern lowlands of the Red Planet, south of the large Olympia Undae dune field that partly surrounds Mars north polar cap, this wellpreserved impact crater is filled with water ice all year round. The craters floor lies two kilometers below its rim, enclosing a 1. 8 km thick domed deposit that represents a large reservoir of nonpolar ice on Mars.
