HiPOD: A Possible Glacial Formation in a Crater

This observation features an impact crater with a furrowed and pitted floor and a big, slump-like feature in its northern part. The crater floor is reminiscent of formations believed to be of glacial origin elsewhere on Mars, and our HiRISE image can provide clues to its nature. The terraced wall of the crater has blocky material reminiscent of craters on Ceres.
