Avalanches have been observed at this scarp, which is just north of the another scarp location with such activity. Monitoring this site in the Martian spring is key to constrain the frequency of avalanches and timing of the onset of “avalanche season”. The Context Camera was also requested to “ride-along” this observation for additional coverage and details.
