Turbulent Lava Flow in Mars Athabasca Valles

This combination of images helped researchers analyze the youngest flood lava on Mars, which is in Athabasca Valles, in the Elysium Planitia region of equatorial Mars. On the left, color coding indicates relative elevation. The labels A and B indicate the locations of the two images on the right. The images on the right appear three dimensional when viewed through red-blue glasses. The features evident here are phreatovolcanic cones related to lava-water interactions. They can be used as indicators of where the lava flowed. ASU-IPF-3056
