A Cone in Chryse Planitia
The main science objective for this observation is to measure the cone’s size and shape and compare obtained values with other three fields of cones in other areas of Mars. Such a study may help to find out if small cones within these fields bear similarities or not, and hence if they have been formed by same process or not.
Image cutout is less than 5 km (under 3 mi) top to bottom and is 282 km (175 mi) above the surface. For full images including scale bars, visit the source link.
