This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows a cracked plain in western Utopia Planitia. The three circular crack patterns indicate the location of three buried meteor impact craters. These landforms are located near 41.9°N, 275.9°W. The image covers an area approximately 3 km (1.9 mi) across. Sunlight illuminates this scene from the lower left.
