North Polar "Cone" (Original NASA/MGS/MSSS b/w Frame)

Caption NASA originale:"This MGS-MOC image shows a cone-shaped hill, perhaps a remnant of a material that was once more laterally extensive across the area, on a textured plain in the Hyperboreus Labyrinthus Region in the North Polar Region of Mars.
The hill and its surroundings are covered with a blanket of solid CO2 which imparts a roughly homogeneous-tone to the scene.
Despite its shape, the feature is not a volcano; over the past 9 years, the MGS-MOC investigation has found no unambiguous evidence for volcanic landforms in the North Polar Region".
