Cratered Lineated Valley Fill

A Cluster of Craters
A Song of Impact and Ice? Craters appear commonly in clusters on top of mesas in this area but only rarely do the clusters also cover the valley floors which are thought to be ice rich. One of our goals with this observation is to look for deformation of craters at small and large sizes.
