This is the current low-perspective image of the Agilkia region combined with an earlier image with a more vertical perspective. Several landmarks, along with the landing sites, have been marked. Although this is a small world with a close horizon minor elevation differences can have a large effect on the sight distances so there is no telling what may be visible from the actual landing location.
The nominal landing location is shown with a red line and the other landmarks are shown with blue lines. A probable Northern horizon is shown in green. Two high peaks at the "edge of the world" that may peek over the local horizon are designated with a yellow "A" and "B".

This is a revised image that includes the ROLIS descent image from 12 Nov 14.
The ROLIS image added to a recent low-perspective image of the Agilkia region combined with an earlier image with a more vertical perspective. This three-image montage is reduced by 50% in size from the original montage.
