Part of the most detailed image of Miranda, showing details as small as 500 m across, which is the best spatial resolution of any Voyager image. The area covered is about 80 km across. Part of Inverness corona is seen at the upper left. The cliff at the lower right is over 10 km high, but it slopes at about 60 degrees rather than being vertical. This and several fractures parallel to it are geological faults that run up the left-hand side of Inverness corona in the orientation seen on the south polar view of Miranda.
