The Twin Peaks are modest-size hills to the southwest of the Mars 
Pathfinder landing site. They were discovered on the first panoramas 
taken by the IMP camera on the 4th of July, 1997, and subsequently 
identified in Viking Orbiter images taken over 20 years ago. The 
peaks are approximately 30-35 meters (-100 feet) tall. North Twin is 
approximately 860 meters (2800 feet) from the lander, and South 
Twin is about a kilometer away (3300 feet). The scene includes 
bouldery ridges and swales or 'hummocks' of flood debris that range 
from a few tens of meters away from the lander to the distance of the 
South Twin Peak.

The composite color frames that make up this 'left-eye' image consist 
of 8 frames, taken with different color filters that were enlarged by 
500% and then co- added using Adobe Photoshop to produce, in 
effect, a super-resolution panchromatic frame that is sharper than an 
individual frame would be. This panchromatic frame was then 
colorized with the red, green, and blue filtered images from the same 
sequence. The color balance was adjusted to approximate the true 
color of Mars.

This image and PIA02406 (right eye) make up a stereo pair.

Mars Pathfinder is the second in NASA's Discovery program of 
low-cost spacecraft with highly focused science goals. The Jet 
Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, developed and manages the 
Mars Pathfinder mission for NASA's Office of Space Science, 
Washington, D.C. JPL is a division of the California Institute of 
Technology (Caltech). The IMP was developed by the University of 
Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory under contract to JPL. 
Peter Smith is the Principal Investigator.
