Summary

Mud volcanoes, as seen by HiRISE under HiWish program. Because of pressure, mud sometimes is forced up through weak areas to create mud volcanoes. These formations may be useful to search for evidence of life. The mud comes from a depth which would provide radiation protection. The location is the Mare Acidalium quadrangle at 46.216 N and 351.809 E (ESP_053381_2265).
