Glacier-like Flow on Arsia Mons (EDM - Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)

It is possible that the Flow Features that we can see in this image are "Relict Glaciers". The Flow Lobes and Surface Lineations are similar to those found on Glaciers on Earth. The merging of the Lobes seen in the bottom of the CTX Frame as well as in the EDM might imply that multiple walls are shedding material.
It is likely also that the Flanks of Arsia Mons contain ice-rich material - possibly deposited during a different Obliquity (Obliquity ----> Tilt of Mars' Spin Axis) or Climate Regime.
