HiPOD: Erosional Features on Olympus Mons

In Context Camera data, we see scour pits in the northern part of Olympus Mons. This cluster of erosional features is isolated from the main Medusae Fossae Formation (MFF) units. All other scour pits are found within the MFF, so high resolution imaging here could give us insight into what causes the scour pits to form and what the MFF is made out of.
