Traces of block glaciers in Acheron Fossae

Traces of block glaciers in Acheron Fossae
This filled graben is located in the Acheron Fossae area on Mars. The region is crossed by arched graben and parallel ridges. These tectonic graben are filled with material that traces previous flow movements of masses of ice and gravel, and indicates the former existence of so-called block glaciers.
