Original Caption Released with Image:

NASA's Curiosity Mars rover used its Navigation Camera (Navcam) to capture this view on April 11, 2015, during the 952nd Martian day, or sol of the rover's work on Mars. The image appears three-dimensional when viewed through red-blue glasses with the red lens on the left.

The rover's location was in a valley called "Artist's Drive" on the route up Mount Sharp. The view spans from east, at left, to southwest, at right. Upper Mount Sharp appears on the horizon at left.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. JPL designed and built the project's Curiosity rover and the rover's Navcam.
