Ridge Crossing Small Crater

Ridge Crossings
The simplicity of this observation contrasts with the formation we see here: two parallel, curvilinear ridges (one crossing an impact crater) that have a similar shape to other examples attributed to carbon dioxided glaciers. Owing to how in-filled the crater is, the ridge likely formed long after the original impact.
