Glacier-like Flow on Arsia Mons (CTX frame - Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)
This observation shows a "Glacier-like Flow" in a Depression located on the flanks of Arsia Mons. 
Arsia Mons is one of the large Martian Volcanoes that sits near the Equator on the Tharsis Rise. Downslope is towards the upper right of CTX frame, and the Flow is in this direction. It is interesting to note that the Depression is not directly radial from the Volcano's Peak, but rather oriented approximately 45° away, along the Flanks of the Volcano.

The pitted texture of the material suggests that sublimation is occurring or has occurred. The Surface Temperature and Pressure on Mars are such that water in ice-rich material can easily sublimate leaving behind a depression where the volatiles were removed.
