Center is at Latitude 30 Degrees South., Longitude 330 Degrees

Jet Propulsion Laboratory https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/ June 8, 1998
Heavily cratered highlands dominate this view from NASA's Viking Orbiter 1. Toward the lower right, a conspicuous light-colored circular depression marks the ancient large Hellas impact basin.

Center of the orthographic projection is at latitude 30 degrees S., longitude 330 degrees. Heavily cratered highlands dominate this view. Toward the lower right, a conspicuous light-colored circular depression marks the ancient large Hellas impact basin. Directly northeast of Hellas, several large ancient impacts dot the landscape, including Cassini, Schiaparelli, and Huygens. Several large outflow channels are located in the upper left-hand corner. The permanent, residual south polar ice cap is located near the bottom.
