Ascraeus Mons Flank

Today's VIS image shows a portion of the northern flank of Ascraeus Mons. Ascraeus Mons is the northernmost of the three large aligned Tharsis volcanoes. All three have extensive flank deposits along the northeast/southwest trend connecting the volcanoes. In today's image volcanic lava flows are visible along with tectonic features and collapse features. Collapse into underlying lava tubes will create a what looks like a series of craters along a tectonic trend.
