The Cerberus Fossae are a group of troughs in the Cerberus region of Mars that run roughly parallel to one another. They formed due to extension of the crust in the region. Some of the troughs, such as the one here, were at one time volcanic vents. Lava flow features can be seen emanating from this vent.
