HIPOD 13 Oct 23: A Crater in Gorgonum Chaos

One hypothesis proposes that the region of Eridania (where Gorgonum Chaos is located) to be volcanic in origin, and this conflicts with a previous interpretation that suggested this region to be an ancient inland sea. This HiRISE observation of the formations here (called “chaotic terrain”) can help to investigate the origin of this landscape.
