Glacial Erosion and Mantled Central Pit Crater

Glacial Erosion and Mantled Central Pit Crater

Mantling and Glacial Erosion of an Impact Crater
This observation features a mantled impact crater with a good exposure of bedrock on the nothern (top) part of the rim. Other areas of bedrock show signs of erosion. The central pit may also be possibly mantled. High resolution can help to detail the stratigraphy and topography of this crater and its formations.
