Unusually-looking Landforms near Grota Valles (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)
|
The Landforms visible in this observation are quite diverse, with a segment of the Cerberus Fossae (such as a deep Trough extending East-West) and Surrounding Terrain that has been eroded by some Fluid, either Water (actually Mud) or Lava. There are also many Boulders in places, either on steep Slopes or excavated by Impact Craters. The high Hills are Islands of older Terrain surrounded by younger Lavas.
