NASA said the images were collected by its Curiosity rover in July after it climbed Sharp Mountain - an 8km peak located in the basin of Mars' Gale C study.
Up to this point, the Curiosity rover has been on the red planet for 9 years, conducting research on mineral composition and searching for the possibility of ancient life on Mars.
According to NASA's announcement, it is now winter in human cape, so the red dust on Mars has calmed down and the Curiosity spacecraft has a great opportunity to collect clearer photos.
This area is proven to have many mines of clay and sulfur minerals. Studies are also looking into how the area has been affected over time as local water resources have dried up.
"The rocks here will tell us how this once-umid planet has turned into a barren Mars star today and how long the environment can survive after this change," said Abigail Fraeman, Deputy Director of the Curiosity Project at NASA's Dynamic thrust laboratory.
NASA's announcement adds that Curiosity has passed through the cape and will soon explore Rafael defro - a recently named peak to honor a deceased scientist who worked on the mission. The rover will also return to Greenheugh Pediment - a strip of sedge that Curiosity caught last year.
