A deposit, interpreted as a debris-covered glacier or glaciers akin to lobate debris aprons or lineated valley fill, embays a group of ridges near the western edge of the Alba Patera caldera complex. Most other such deposits on Alba Patera’s caldera walls do not encounter any topographic obstacles. The deposit also bears surface textures, possibly associated with the desiccation of ice-rich material.
