Even without a 3D picture, we can easily see that the crater’s walls are fairly steep. Phlegra Montes are a series of mountain ranges, massifs and knobby terrain in the northern lowlands of Mars.

The objective of this observation is to examine at least two layers that are exposed in the wall of an impact crater that’s less than 5 km across.

Data from other instruments, such as THEMIS and CRISM, imply that chlorides are present here; the CRISM data reveal that iron/magnesium clays are also present.
