Bedrock Exposed in the Rim of Hale Crater

Bedrock Exposed in the Rim of Hale Crater
Hale Crater is a large impact crater (more than 100 kilometers) with a suite of interesting features such as active gullies, active recurring slope lineae, and extensive icy ejecta flows. There are also exposed diverse (colorful) bedrock units.

Note: North is down, so that the slope is down to the bottom of the cutout and illumination from the upper right.
