About this work

Chukhung is a 45 kilometer-diameter, central pit crater in Tempe Terra, having likely formed 3 billion years ago. The southern portion of the crater floor hosts a large viscous flow feature that is hypothesized to be a glacier. There are sinuous ridges that emanate from the margin of the flow feature toward the center of the crater.
