This is the final image of Mars captured by Viking Orbiter 2 as it approached for its orbit insertion on August 6, 1976. It is a two-image mosaic. Valles Marineris is clearly visible at the center of the disk, crossing the terminator. In the south, frost extends up into the Argyre basin; on its edge, with a dark outline, is the crater Galle, famous for the eroded remnants of a central ring that makes it look like a happy face.
