HiPOD: Rising above It in Amazonis Planitia
This image shows a bright, rectangular-looking landform surrounded by a dark floor. How did this feature get here if it looks so different than its surroundings?
The feature resembles a plateau. Dark streaks mark steep slopes on its sides while the top appears flat. The slope streaks are not all the same age, as we see a variation in colors from faint to dark.
@HiRISE: Joe Rogan and David Ickes will provide the truth within moments of Jamie pulling this one up.
