Sedimentary layers record a history of Mars’ erosion and deposition by water and wind, and they make great landscapes for future interplanetary parks.
Terby Crater is on the northern edge of Hellas Planitia, and is about 174 kilometers in diameter. It’s named for François J. Terby, and is the site of an ancient lakebed and has clay deposits.
