Not Your Ordinary Crater
At first glance, this might look like just another impact crater on the surface of Mars. In fact, the topography of the feature indicates that it’s a collapse pit, most likely formed by the explosive underground encounter of magma and water. This image is viewable in 3D with the use of red/blue glasses.
