... has a large central caldera —12 km in diameter and from 500 to 1,000 m deep; both calderas contain numerous craters and large, irregular pits. Channel-like features which head at the calderas and taper downslope show evidence of collapse and possible lava erosion. Elysium Mons rises some 14 ± 1.5 km...

We report the discovery of narrow channels connecting thermokarst-like depressions that provide evidence for the previous presence of ponded liquid water. Crater counts on these surfaces indicate resurfacing that is likely related to flood deposition...
