15 March 2004
This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows an impact crater in northern Elysium Planitia near 31.3°N, 236.8°W. Layered rock is exposed in the upper crater walls. Light-toned ripples or small dunes can be seen in the crater, on its ejecta blanket, and on the surrounding plains. This February 2004 picture covers an area about 3 km (1.9 mi) across. Sunlight illuminates the scene from the lower left.
