About this image

Lava flows from the broad shield volcano Syrtis Major have poured into the Isidis Basin to the east. The transition between these great provinces is marked by broken slabs of accumulated volcanic material that is retreating from its position on the floor of the basin. A jagged scarp a half a kilometer high is the result.
