About this work
Continuing eastward thru central Ius Chasma, this image shows a section of chasma that is not dominated by landslide deposits. Geryon Montes, in the upper half of the image, has several visible faults, including a pair of faults that divide the uppermost ridge into two sections. Between the montes and the southern wall face is a region of sand and sand dunes. The presence of mobile sand indicates that winds are eroding, depositing and changing the canyon floor.
