The objective of this observation is to observe gullies in a crater. Pictures like this will help us increase our knowledge of the distribution of Martian gullies. Some of the gullies have quite wide, branched alcoves, and there are ridges of material at the base. Some researchers have suggested that the ridges are from former glaciers that came before the gullies. The floor of this crater is covered with pits and contains some small ring mold craters.
