High resolution digital terrain model of the Agilkia landing site on comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko

The Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Marseille, one of the partners in the MiARD project, have just released this rendering of their digital terrain model of the Agilkia area of the comet where the Philae lander first touched down. The name Agilkia was selected by the European Space Agency from suggestions by the public, and is taken from the name of an island in the Nile river in Egypt.
