Title

Breccia Boulder at Mt. Hadley Delta 3

Subject

Breccia Boulder

Description

A photo of a unique boulder spotted on Mt. Hadley Delta. This boulder is described as "a breccia with a partial glass coating." This implies that the boulder did not originate in Mt. Hadley Delta, but rather is a remnant of the impact that formed the South Cluster. In this photo, Jim Irwin steps to the right to photograph the boulder from a new angle (NASA).
