The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is still snapping away as it orbits the red planet, and here’s its latest picture. We’ve seen stunning views of Victoria Crater before, I admit, but this is from a slightly different angle and … well, dammit, it’s just beautiful, isn’t it?

The Mars rover Opportunity spent 2 years from September 2006 exploring in and around Victoria, particularly looking at the geology of the steep, rugged walls of the 800-metre-wide crater. If you look really close at the hi-res images, you can just make out the rover’s tracks around the crater’s edge.
