This locale contains fluvial-like channels in the upland portion which transitions to a broken-up, blocky terrain occupying an amphitheater-shaped valley. This valley is reminiscent of chaos terrain and may indicate collapse due ice table melting. This location may hold clues regarding the relationships between these features and have broader implications for the ice deposit formation throughout the region.
