Summary
Description Mars glacial-like lobe deposit.jpg | Perspective view of a 5-km-wide, glacial-like lobe deposit sloping up into a box canyon along the crustal dichotomy boundary on Mars. The up-slope geometry of these deposits implies a past thickness of ice on the order of ~920 m at this location. Cessation of glacial conditions caused lowering of the debris-covered glacier surface to the configuration seen today.
