This observation covers gullies that were previously identified in the walls of a crater in a MOC image (E0502675).

Do these gullies have features that can be interpreted as characteristic of snow and/or ice melting? At HiRISE resolution, questions like this can possibly be answered.

HiRISE often re-images areas to track seasonal changes, so we expect to monitor these gullies for changes at intervals during several Mars years.

This caption is based on the original science rationale.
