Light-Toned Materials within Iani Chaos
The objective of this observation is to get high resolution image to see more details about the light-toned deposits: could they be more sulfates or other hydrated materials? Iani Chaos is a region of chaos terrain at the south end of the Ares Vallis outflow channel. The chaotic terrain is believed to have formed by the removal of subsurface water or ice, resulting in flooding at the surface.
