This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows layered rocks--in some areas eroded by wind to form yardangs--in eastern Candor Chasma, one of the troughs of the Valles Marineris system. The circular feature near the center of the image is a filled and partially-exhumed impact crater. The image covers an area about 3 km (1.9 mi) wide and is illuminated by sunlight from the upper left. These features are located near 8.1°S, 66.9°W.
