Space/Science » in reply to MRO allows for a perspective view of Candor Chasma

And if you think that's good ...

This is of a similar area to that of this Mars Express image showing dense low lying clouds/fogs:

judging from the latitude/longitude of the image given in this ESA report:

The seasonal time when the Mars Express image was taken in mid southern Autumn is coming up on Mars. Mars is known to present seasonal cloud belts during this time. It is likely these dense clouds/fogs will be repeated in this region.
A perspective view may make it possible to find out how low these clouds/fogs go and if they contact the surface. If so, there may become visible seasonal meteorologically generated features.
