Title: Linear volcanic features at Alba Patera, Mars ‐ PRobable spatter ridges
Abstract: A number of extensive linear constructional features occur on the north and east flanks of Alba Patera. They are found in a 150‐km‐wide zone and comprise aligned ridge elements that are locally associated with short volcanic flows. They are among the youngest volcanic features in the region and are believed to be Martian analogs of terrestrial spatter ridges. On the basis of measurements made on Viking images, it appears that active volcanic fissures on Mars were larger than their terrestrial counterparts.
