The science goal for this observation is to get high resolution images to see more details about the light-toned deposits: could they be more sulfates or other hydrated materials? Iani Chaos is one of many regions east of Valles Marineris characterized by disrupted or chaotic terrain. The shape of this terrain is dominated by large-scale remnant massifs, which are large relief masses that have been moved and weathered as a block.
