Mariner 4 image showing an area of the southern highlands at 46 S, 144 W. Light levels were getting low at this point, so detail is difficult to pick out in the image and only indistinct features can be seen. The image was taken from 12,000 km and the frame is 266 km by 236 km. The sun was 67 degrees from zenith and north is at 12:30. (Mariner 4, frame 15E)
