This chain of impact craters almost look like they’ve all melted! But our objective here is to examine the dipping layers within the craters. This scene is also visible in a larger Context Camera image.

| Description |
English: This chain of impact craters almost look like they’ve all melted! But our objective here is to examine the dipping layers within the craters. This scene is also visible in a larger Context Camera image.
The terrain in Protonilus Mensae is often described as “fretted” that is common to certain areas of Mars. This terrain contains cliffs, mesas, and wide flat valleys. Surface features are believed to have been caused by debris-covered glaciers. Image cutout is less than 5 km (3 mi) across and the spacecraft altitude was 299 km (186 mi).
