NAC Anaglyph: Atlas Crater Wall

The rough-and-tumble morphology of this crater wall results, at least in part, from large-scale wall instability and failures [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].

NAC Anaglyph: Briggs Fractures

Fractures in the floor of Briggs crater suggest intrusive volcanic activity , i.e. magma rising from below to push up the crater floor, causing it to crack [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
