Olympus' Lava Flows (Extremely Enhanced Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)
The flanks of Olympus Mons are covered with Lava Flows (one on top of the other) Most of these Flows are relatively narrow, with a channel running down the middle. They appear similar to the Lava Flows found on Mt. Etna in Sicily (Italy).
However, in this image, we see these typical Flows partially covered by another, more recent one. This last one also shows a Central Channel, and it is about 10 times wider than the more typical Lava Flows. At the center of the HiRISE image the Channel disappears. 
This is probably because the Channel was blocked here and Lava spilled out of it and covered a broad, fan-shaped, area. The eruption that produced this unusual flow was probably more vigorous and perhaps lasted longer than the more common ones.
