An impact crater with pristine-appearing secondary crater chains is partly covered with more than a kilometer of polar layered terrain continuous with the main polar deposit. The observed relationships strongly suggest that the crater formed near the edge of the cap in late Amazonian time, was buried by polar cap advance, and that some retreat has occurred. This, together with evidence for ice streaming, suggests that portions of the cap may have been mobile in the past. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.
