Amazonis Planitia is no stranger to lava flows, but it also has other features such as these higher-standing ridges. The material of these ridges proved to be more resistant than the surrounding terrain, so they stand in relief.
Amazonis Planitia is likely about 100 million years old and is one of the smoothest plains on Mars, with terrain that generally resembles Iceland.
Below is a non-narrated HiClip mini, with added sound effect. (Less than 5 km across.)
