Mars Impact Craters

Images of Mars showcasing various impact craters, with features like ripples, exposed rock, and ancient channels against a rugged Martian landscape.

View taken from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter showing part of the floor of a large impact crater in the southern highlands on Mars, north of the giant Hellas impact basin. Most of the crater floor is dark, with abundant small ripples of wind-blown material. A pit in the floor of the crater has exposed light-toned, fractured rock, which appears fractured at several different scales.
