Trying to do a fly-over to spot the face on Duna, anyone got picture/location ??

Search results said that the face on Duna got buried by terrain during ksp updates.

The face on Duna is much smaller than you'd think. I don't think it's possible to see from orbit. I've had trouble finding it even when parked within a couple kilometers of it.

Here's how I locate it.

- The face is located in the northern hemisphere in a dark-colored depression (shown in the height map in this thread) with a hill in the center of the depression.

- To the southeast of this depression, just below the equator, is a larger dark "sea" area.

- Between the larger sea and the depression, is a canyon linking the two areas.

- That hill in the center of the depression? The face is on the Eastern slope of that hill, facing the canyon.

- If you draw an imaginary line from the mouth of the canyon to the hill, the face is approximately somewhere along that line, about half way (ish) up that hill.

- The face is very small, it is object-sized, not mountain-sized. It is darkly colored. You're looking for a dark speck as you pan around. Just a speck.

- I think you have to actually be landed on the surface near it, and panning around with the camera, to be able to see it. I don't think it's visible from orbit.
