DEM of a lava flow between Mare Serenitatis and Mare Imbrium

This figure shows a DEM of the end of a lava flow situated at the border between Mare Serenitatis and Mare Imbrium, to the west of the "gap" between Montes Apenninus and Montes Caucasus. The altitude profile was reconstructed based on a single image acquired on March 10, 2003. The image used for 3D reconstruction is shown on the left, the corresponding synthetic image rendered based on the altitude profile on the right. The average height of the step-like structure amounts to about 160 m.
