This suggestive VIS image, taken by the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter on August, 6th, 2003, and during its 7.283rd orbit around the Red Planet, shows us a small Highland (actually, a small and highly irregularly-shaped Hill-like Surface Feature) that is completely surrounded by the gray Lava Flows which cover the Volcanic Martian Region known as Daedalia Planum.

This image (which is an Original Mars Odyssey Orbiter falsely colored and Map-Projected frame published on the NASA - Planetary Photojournal with the ID n. PIA 19460) has been additionally processed, magnified to aid the visibility of the details, contrast enhanced and sharpened, Gamma corrected and then re-colorized in Absolute Natural Colors (such as the colors that a normal human eye would actually perceive if someone were onboard the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter and then looked down, towards the Surface of Mars), by using an original technique created - and, in time, dramatically improved - by the Lunar Explorer Italia Team.
