Possible Impact Melt in Terra Sabaea
Nighttime and daytime infrared images from THEMIS suggest a consolidated deposit in the floor of this ancient crater in Terra Sabaea, potentially with some bedrock exposure.
A Rising Ridge
This obsevation focuses a ridge that is standing above the old lava surface of the floor of Echua Chasma.
