The CaSSIS instrument on the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter acquired a morning image of this area, and HiRISE was asked for a high resolution picture that is usually taken in the Martian afternoon. There are great exposures and diverse colors in this small part of Savich Crater, a 188 kilometer-wide depression near the northeastern edge of the much larger Hellas impact basin. Channels visible here were likely eroded by water flowing into Savich long ago.
