HiPOD: Impact Structure in Brain Terrain

We call the convoluted flow textures seen in the middle latitudes "brain terrain" because it resembles the cerebral cortex of human brains.

Here we see a relatively large (280-meter diameter) circular structure that is most likely a relaxed impact crater. Both the brain terrain and the relaxed crater are consistent with ice-rich ground.
