This region in the Amazonis Planitia may contain lava inflationary features as predicted by terrestrial analog models. By examining possible locations of lava-inflationary features such as tumuli, we can come to a better understanding of specific pathways and behaviors of intricate lava tube systems that often remain hidden. This image is located on the aureole (ring) of the Olympus Mons volcano.
