This rotating animation shows the distribution of topography on Mars. The colors blend smoothly from the lowest point (black) to highest point (white), with a full spectrum in-between: purple is low and red high. The movie shows the trimodal height distribution of the northern plains, southern highlands, and Tharsis bulge.
