HiPOD: A Pit near Arsia Mons

Also in Context Camera data, this image can help to determine if any underlying void (open fracture, dilational normal fault) and associated faults can be observed. Pits may reflect geologically recent tectonic or volcanic activity. Any associated caves could be targets for future robotic exploration.
