The "Footprint" Volcano (Original NASA/MGS/MSSS b/w Frame)

Caption NASA originale:"This MGS-MOC HR image, acquired 13 July 2003, shows a small, Dust-covered Volcano on the Plains located to the East of Pavonis Mons. The Floor of the Caldera - such as the elliptical depression at the Summit of the Volcano - has a few windblown Ripples on it. The Ripples and thick Dust Mantle, together with the small impact craters on its Surface, indicate that the Volcano erupted some time ago, but there has been no activity at this Volcano in geologically recent times. This image covers an area approx. 3 Km wide by 6,8 Km (approx. 1,9 mi by 4,2 mi). The Volcano is located near 1,6° South Lat. and 105,7° West Long.; sunlight illuminates the scene from the left".

Nota Lunexit: il nome "Footprint" è stato convenzionalmente attribuito a questo rilievo da Lunar Explorer Italia.
