From the explanation

“Get out your red/blue glasses and gaze across Burns Cliff along the inner wall of Endurance crater on Mars! The view from the perspective of Mars rover Opportunity is a color anaglyph – two different images are presented to the left and right eyes by color filters to produce the 3D effect.”
