Question - 636

This is a 3-D false colour rendering of a small extra-terrestrial mountain. What is its claim to fame?

Answer: This is a high resolution image of the "face on mars" - a pareidolia captured by Viking 1. Siddharth ravi, Matti, Siddarth Pai, Kaushik, anon, Divya Shankar, giantamoeba, Krithi and Iam got it. Well done.
