Hamelin Crater, variant

Edited Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter image of Hamelin Crater. Inverted grayscale variant.

 

Original caption: Hamelin Crater

 

This image straddles Hamelin with another crater, which is only 90 km northeast of the original landing site selected for Viking Lander 1 in Chryse Planitia. Hamelin shows the raised edge or rampart around the ejecta blanket that is characteristic of many craters in this area.
