HiRISE PICTURE OF THE DAY: 21 MAY 2024
The Little Pit
This image was acquired to determine if any underlying void (open fracture or normal fault) and associated faults can be observed in this part of Arsia Mons. Pits may reflect geologically-recent tectonic or volcanic activity. Any associated caves could be targets for future robotic exploration. The pit is only a few meters across.
