Mars Surface near Viking Lander 1 Footpad (MULTISPECTRUM; credits: Lunexit)

Caption NASA:"This image, which has been flipped horizontally, was taken by Viking Lander 1 on August 1st, 1976, 12 Soles after the landing. Much like images that have returned from Phoenix, the soil beneath Viking 1 has been exposed due to exhaust from thruster engines during descent.
This is visible to the right of the struts of Viking's surface-sampler arm housing, seen on the left".
