Ahuna Mons: An Ice Volcano
As slide 8 shows, carbonate minerals are common on the surface of Ceres.
This is one of the sites on Ceres where scientists detected large amounts of sodium carbonate, a type of carbonate mineral.
Do you think this could provide evidence that water or ice containing salts and minerals erupted from Ahuna Mons?
Both images show Ahuna Mons from above. The image on the right is colored to show the amount of carbonate minerals detected on the surface.
