Summary
Close view of scalloped terrain High-centered polygons are visible, as well as some boulders. Radar studies have shown that this type of surface contains much water ice; hence, it may be mined in the future by colonists. Some of the scallops are merging as water ice is leaving the ground.
The location is Utopia Planitia in the Casius quadrangle at 45.177 N and 97.865 E (ESP_037461_2255).
