Given [my previous work on terrestrial and martian elevation data visualization](https://beta.observablehq.com/@ehouais/heightmap-rendering-using-a-floorcasting-algorithm), I was tempted at recreating this view and make it explorable. While ESA sadly doesn't give access to the raw elevation data (unlike University of Arizona's LPL does for its own [Hirise](https://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu) data), they do provide high resolution [photography](https://www.esa.int/spaceinimages/Images/2018/12/Plan_view_of_Korolev_crater) ([608x700 jpg](https://www.esa.int/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/images/2018/12/plan_view_of_korolev_crater/18937953-1-eng-GB/Plan_view_of_Korolev_crater_node_full_image_2.jpg) / [3476x4000 jpg](https://www.esa.int/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/images/2018/12/plan_view_of_korolev_crater/18937953-1-eng-GB/Plan_view_of_Korolev_crater.jpg) / [3476x4000 tiff](https://www.esa.int/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/images/2018/12/plan_view_of_korolev_crater/18937954-1-eng-GB/Plan_view_of_Korolev_crater.tif)), and [topography](https://www.esa.int/spaceinimages/Images/2018/12/Topography_of_Korolev_crater) ([608x700 jpg](https://www.esa.int/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/images/2018/12/topography_of_korolev_crater/18938141-1-eng-GB/Topography_of_Korolev_crater_node_full_image_2.jpg) / [3475x4000 jpg](https://www.esa.int/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/images/2018/12/topography_of_korolev_crater/18938141-1-eng-GB/Topography_of_Korolev_crater.jpg) / [3475x4000 tiff](https://www.esa.int/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/images/2018/12/topography_of_korolev_crater/18938142-1-eng-GB/Topography_of_Korolev_crater.tif)) that mixes color-coded elevation and shading, and provides the color ramp that was used.
