Light-Toned and Rugged
This image footprint shows us a stunning view of light-toned substrate and rocky outcrops. It’s located in an intercrater area previously seen in Viking images (637A36 and 635A94.) THEMIS data indicates that this is a possible high thermal inertia area, meaning that heats persists more noticeably than other parts of the terrain.
Image cutout is less than 5 km (3 mi) across and the spacecraft altitude was 257 km (160 mi). For full observation details including images with scale bars, visit the source link.
