HiPOD: A Circular Feature Crosscut by a Lava Channel

This scene shows a circular feature about 3 kilometers in diameter with raised rims surrounded and infilled by lavas.

The circular formation is likely an eroded impact crater whose walls have been breached by the lava as it surrounded the rim and then infilled the crater. Alternatively, it could represent the location of a volcanic vent that sourced some of the lavas that formed the channel.
