Maybe the elevation is exaggerated by a factor of 2, but not more. Have to
figure it out somewhen.

Some cliffs and gorges are extreme, that's right. But this is often
overestimated, because although Vallis Marineris is over 10 kilometers deep, it
is sometimes well over 100 kilometers wide.

Unfortunately, the raw data is not detailed enough for a real, deep fly-through,
and would then be very pixelated. Nevertheless, I will try it out somewhen and
see how pixelated the results become.
