This stunning image is located southeast of the 20-kilometer high Arsia Mons, which is one of the three volcanos making up the Tharsis Montes range on Mars. Arsia Mons is a shield volcano with a fairly low slope and a massive caldera crowning its summit.
While we don’t know how long the lava flowed from Arsia, we can clearly see the remnants. In a nearby image are yardangs, those boat hull-shaped formations that appear in inverted relief.
