About this image

On the northeast flank of the 27 km-high volcano Ascraeus Mons, a set of collapse pits and troughs vaguely resemble the symbols of an Asian language. This image shows a range of landforms that are produced by flowing lava and its aftermath: surface flow lobes and channels, source pits, lava tubes, and collapse depressions.
