This 3D view of an area the Mars Perseverance rover team calls "Raised Ridges" was created from data collected by NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter during its 10th flight at Mars on July 24, 2021. The stereo images of the geologic feature were taken at the request of the Mars Perseverance rover science team, which was considering visiting the ridges during the first science campaign. On Earth, similar fractures in desert environments might be a clue to past liquid water activity and thus past habitability. The 3D view (or anaglyph) is best viewed with red-blue glasses. It was created by combining data from two images taken meters apart by the RTE camera aboard Ingenuity. At the time the two images were taken, Ingenuity was at an altitude of 40 feet (12 meters). https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA24688
