The objective of this observation is to determine the nature of an exposure of light-toned material. This material appears in different spots in a Context Camera image. This picture is one of the most intense spots: that is, it shows quite a contrast with the surrounding ground. Pictures like these may be combined with CRISM data to better understand what is going on in this region.
