Uplifted Blocks of Light-Toned Layered Deposits
Acquired on April 1, 2018, this image from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows Aram Chaos, a 280 kilometer-diameter ancient impact crater that lies within the Southern Highlands of Mars. Uplifted blocks of light-toned layers, composed largely of the ironoxide hematite and water-altered silicates, indicate that this crater once held a lake.
