Thermokarst on Mars has been widely described at the scale of Viking images. It usually consists on large pits and troughs of several hundred meters deep attributed to the collapse of rocky material after the sublimation or melting of ground ice. The Mars Orbiting Camera (MOC) images observed and interpreted in this study may provide evidence for a new kind of thermokarst features on Mars at the scale of several tens of meters. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.
