Signs of glacial activity in a crater triplet on the southern highlands of Mars
The oblique perspective view into the crater triplet, located in the Noachis Terra region, clearly shows the flow traces of rock glaciers at the bottom of the crater. The dark patch in the largest crater represents a small accumulation of dark sands, which elsewhere on Mars form numerous impressive dune fields. Especially in the two craters on the right-hand side of the image, deeply incised gullies testify to the erosive activity of flowing water.
