Cluster of Mounds in Terra Cimmeria

A Cluster of Mounds in Terra Cimmeria
This observation shows a cluster of mounds exhibiting low thermal inertia relative to the surroundings. Are these (igneous/mud) volcanoes? Erosional remnants? Higher resolution may help resolve stratigraphic relationship to nearby materials. Compositional information may help constrain the dating of the origin of these mounds.
