Enhanced color close-up of the rim and inner slope of Krupac Crater on Mars.


An enhanced color close-up shows part of the rim and inner slope of Krupac Crater located just degrees south of the equator on Mars. The colors of the gully deposits match the colors of the eroded source materials. Krupac is a relatively young impact crater, but exposes ancient bedrock. Krupac Crater also hosts some of the most impressive recurring slope lineae on equatorial Mars outside of Valles Marineris.
