A view into the Hebes Chasma basin from the northwest
The coloured strata in the sediment mountain indicate the presence of different materials, alternations of various sulphurous minerals with aqueous content such as gypsum and kieserite (light layers) and minerals of volcanic origin such as olivine and pyroxene (bluish layers). Debris from a rockslide dislodged from the northern cliffs of the basin can be seen on the right side of the image.
