Hummocky Terrain in Western Elysium Planitia

Hummocky Terrain in Western Elysium Planitia
The northern edge of a previous image contains the edge of some sort of uplifted terrain. The region appears different in texture and infrared from surrounding ejecta and wind-sculpted terrain, but is generally not imaged by HiRISE or the Mars Orbiter Camera. This image is needed to see if it is like chaotic terrain, inflated megalobes, or something else entirely.
