I would like you to note the central crater peak in this picture;
Central Peak Gullies
Notice the gullies on one side. I have recently noticed gullies on isolated mountains and central peaks.
Why is this important? I don’t see how such a small area could hold an aquifer capable of producing these gullies. I wonder if water frost could be seasonally deposited. Then as it warms, it melts at the soil level while a layer of ice (or an ICE dust mixture) stays on the surface.
