text: On April 8, 2001 the Mars Global Surveyor was nearing the Face. It was a cloudless day and Garvin and his team were hard at work adjusting the Spacecraft so it would center the Face in the camera for a clear photo. When it came time,"Malin's team captured an extraordinary photo using the camera's absolute maximum resolution." The clear photo helped prove that the Face was actually just a natural landform. That was caused by an isolated mesa.
