Kertesz Crater Anaglyph


This is an anaglyph created from two images of the crater Kertesz. By viewing images obtained from slightly different perspectives through red-blue glasses, the brain perceives a "3-D" image. The red lens should be on the left eye. With this anaglyph, better results may be achieved by tilting the head slightly to the left. The floor of Kertesz is covered with spectacular hollows. See more images of hollows here (scroll down to "Presenter #2").
