HiPOD Friday, 9 Jul 2021: Erosional Remnants on Ganges Mensa

These little mesas are most likely erosional remnants of the unit which caps Ganges Mensa further to the west. Ganges Mensa is itself a mesa that rises up 4 kilometers from the floor of Ganges Chasma, one of the peripheral valleys of Valles Marineris. A digital terrain model would allow measurements of layering all the way around one of these mesas.

@HiRISE And these mesas would only be accessible by devices such as Ingenuity.
Curious as to what new information could be captured by accessing these secluded areas.
