Scarps in Deuteronilus Mensae (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team:)
This image shows Scarps (such as "Steep Slopes") in Deuteronilus Mensae, a Region of distinctive Terrain in the Northern Hemisphere of Mars. Polygonal fractures, possibly formed by thermal cycles in ice-rich ground, are visible throughout the scene. 
The high-standing topography at the top of the Scarps have several muted circles: these are Remnant Impact Craters that have degraded throughout time and their degradation process might have been enhanced by the presence of ground ice. 

The two Scarps have different morphologies: the lower (East-facing) side has a Debris Apron with a wave-like texture at its base. 
This is suggestive of material that has moved down the Scarp and gradually flowed away from it. Such a process would be expected if the material were ice-rich. There is no counterpart of this feature at the base of the upper (such as the West-facing) side.
