About this image

These small hills/mounds in Isidis Planitia may be of volcanic origin or alternatively eroded impact craters called pedestal craters. The volcanic origin seems more likely because there appears to be structural control to these features (linear pattern). These mounds may have formed over linear dikes in the region.
