Our rationale for acquiring this image it to observe how the surface flow patterns in the area vary with distance from the crater. This is one of several flow feature observations suggested in the vicinity of the well-preserved crater to the south. Margaritifer Terra is centered just south of the Martian equator and with chaotic terrain, outflow channels and alluvial plains.
