South Presso-Polar Pit Gullies (CTX Frame - Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)
|
This observation shows partial views of two high latitude Pits. These Polar Pits contain Gullies, small-scale Slope Features that are proposed to require some amount of liquid water to form.
Several of the Gullies have multiple Channels and Debris-Aprons from numerous Flows that occurred throughout time. Many of the Gullies are seen to originate at a Boulder-Layer at the Pit Edges. This layer is deteriorating and releasing Boulders that can be seen rolling down the Pit Walls. The bright material near the Pit Edges is probably Seasonal Frost.
