Montes Appeninus is a rugged (30-degree slopes, on average!) mountain range, with peaks running from about 9,600 to well over 16,000 feet high. This mosaic was produced by AutoStitch from two sets of MAP (9-pt) files from two different 450-frame AVIs. Using the MAP technique provides sharp definition across the whole frame, rather than just at the main point of interest. The dark-ish area just right of center is Palus Putredinis and the triangular gap in the mountains there is Hadley Plain, where Apollo 15 landed. The diagonal distance shown in this image is about 600 miles.
