YouTube's ElderFox Documentaries has converted thousands of NASA pictures into ultra-HD images for a 'world first' view of the Red Planet. The team describe their documentary as "the most lifelike experience of being on Mars".

They put the images together into a ten-minute video that takes the viewer on a journey through the eyes of the NASA Spirit, Curiosity and Opportunity rovers.

There is no 'live footage' of the Red Planet from the NASA rovers.

The team stitched thousands of images together to create panoramas they panned across to create an effect similar to that of a live video.

Thank whoever took the time to stitch all those pictures together!

Nice indeed.

Mars looks so dusty/sandy. I've read that Mars reaches a high of only 70 oF/ 20 oC in the middle of summer at its equator. Perfect weather for me 8).

It’s usually below zero Fahrenheit, though, in most places.

Nice pics.

You expect to round the corner of the highway, and to come up...Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas!

Our family drove coast to coast from the east years ago, and those Mars pics look only slightly more desolate than I remember Nevada looking.

Those pics remind me of a valley high up in the Andes.

I work in a freezer for a living :P

Mars at its poles in the middle of winter can reach -195 oF / -125 oC :skull:

I've been to Death Valley before and I would agree.
