HiPOD 21 Mar 2023: Northern Plains Crater Modification

This appears to be a terraced crater among a cluster of smaller expanded craters. A high resolution image should provide some information about local ice and crater expansion. The terrace likely indicates the base of the ice in which expanded craters are growing. We also want to take a detailed look at boulders and polygons.
