HiRISE: The exposed exterior of a modified crater in Tantalus Fossae

tumblr_p5ux6jyPSQ1rlz4gso1_1280The exposed exterior of a modified crater in Tantalus Fossae. Many craters in this area have been extensively modified, but few are sitting on the edge of a graben like this. This position exposes parts of the crater exterior and parts that would normally be buried. Imaging the exposed crater exterior at high resolution may provide a unique perspective on how the crater-modifying processes in the area work.

Beautiful Mars series.
