That terrain on top of Ahuna.... It just seems to have no rhyme or reason. If anything, it appears like a souffle that has risen and collapsed back down a bit (with some subsequent mass wasting around the edges).
Oh, and that hanging valley on the west side of the summit is spectacular. |

That terrain on top of Ahuna.... It just seems to have no rhyme or reason. If anything, it appears like a souffle that has risen and collapsed back down a bit (with some subsequent mass wasting around the edges). Looks like a surface that is splitting as something intrudes, raises the overlying strata, then intrudes a bit further, creating lens of material, an ice laccolith, er laccoglacius? Think Shiprock in New Mexico or Lava Butte in Nevada. Looking at the low "trail" behind the mountain, perhaps something like Hadley Rille on the moon. As to the fractured terrain on top of Ahuna Mons, it's a fictional agriculture/terraforming name, but somehow, Shai-Hulud terrain seems to fit... If you like Dune... clipped from above |
