Basal Exposure of South Polar Layered Deposits (extra-detail mgnf; possible natural colors - elab. Lunexit)
Some layers have an irregular wavy appearance that may have been caused by flow of the ice in the past when the now-exposed ice was still buried. 
It is currently too cold at the surface in the South Polar Region of Mars for significant flow to be occurring today. 
Other layers appear to be converging and some are truncated and may represent the so-called "unconformities" (see here). 
Unconformities form when a previous episode of erosion removes all or part of a layer and is later followed by more deposition.
