Summary

[edit]
Description

An isolated mound of light-toned sediment located on the largely sand-covered floor of the Ganges Chasma canyon system. This mount is likely an isolated remnant of the Ganges Mensa deposit, a 100 x 50 km wide plateau of layered sulfate-bearing sediments located a short distance to the west. The soft nature of this rock has caused the formation of aerodynamic, wind-sculpted landforms called yardangs.

This image combines a 40 m/px natural color CRISM hyperspectral image (600 nm, 530 nm, and 440 nm as RGB channels, respectively) with a 5 m/px monochrome CTX image. The CRISM image was collected on June 12, 2007, and the CTX image was collected on May 4, 2009.
