North-polar-cap-of-Mars-from-Mars-Express-VMC-camera-Sept-30-2010

            View of the North Polar cap of Mars taken by the Mars webcam (MEX-VMC) instrument from a distance of 10,000 km on September 30, 2010.

This image was created by making an average of several images 2,4,6,8,10,12,14, and 16.  Then Gaussian blurring this by 1 pixel to make a smooth color background.  Next, Image No 12 was used as a luminosity layer.  It was also used as a HiPass layer to enhance subtle details.  Finally it was blended with some of the original Image No. 12.  Contrast enhancement and rotation and cropping gave the final image.
