It was generated using Vistapro 4.0, and the surface relief exageration has been reduced to only 3x from the original 10x which is present in the regular Mars Global Surveyor Digital Elevation Map file. -------------------- David W.

It looks similar to Terragen work, but obviously a different program was used.

I believe that future astronauts visiting this canyon will witness a similar sight. Thank you for sharing it with us all.
