HiPOD 8 Dec 2022: Pristine with Gullies

We call this 7-kilometer diameter crater “pristine” because while it is old, the rim is fairly sharp and not very eroded. The science goal for this observation is to investigate the topography of the east-facing wall, pictured here, where gullies and mantling deposits transition to the normal crater wall.
