Both are fairly small and geologically young (hence “fresh”) but the flower-like ejecta of one of them is what stands out here. A collection of boulders surround both.

We’ve come to understand in recent years that about a third of Mars has ice just below the surface.
Layered Bedrock
This un-named crater in southwestern Arabia Terra contains a treasure!
Layered sediments are the key to the puzzle of Martian history. They tell us about the conditions that existed when the sediments were deposited, and how they changed over time.
