This VIS image shows the intersection between Elysium Chasma (vertical) and Hyblaeus Chamsa (horizontal). This fracture system is located southwest of Elysium Mons. These chasmata are just two of the many large fractures in the Elysium volcanic complex. These chasma are related to the volcanic activity that created Elysium Mons.
