Potential South Polar Layered Deposit Crater Cluster

Potential South Polar Layered Deposit Crater Cluster

Cluster of Craters
This stunning image shows us a cluster with several major craters, at most a few tens of meters in diameter, and are potentially indicative of impactor populations causing the South Polar layered deposit craters. The bright exposed area is frost. A larger impact crater is also visible in the wider observation view.
