About this image

At some point in the past this unnamed crater in Noachis Terra was filled with material. This material was subsequently eroded to form the pit seen in the image. The upper part of the pit is dissected by numerous gullies, many of which appear as dark streaks at the cliff edge. The bright dune was likely formed from the material being eroded.
