In Central Elysium Planitia (CEP) on Mars, very young aged (10Ma or less) flows have been identified while the origin is still under debate. In this area a distinct morphological unit, called as Double Cone Structures (DCS) is a key in interpretation of the geological context. This structure has 3 characteristics; 1) inside caldera-like depression surrounded by low rise rim (moat) main cone stands, 2) vent-like depression at top of the cone, and 3) another small cone in side depression. The terrestrial counterpart of DCS can be found in lake Myvatn, Iceland. Based on the morphological analysis, we conclude that DCS and the young aged flows is volcanic origin, not aqueous origin.
