Abstract

Highlights: [•] We survey glaciovolcanic landforms in the glacial deposit on the Arsia Mons volcano. [•] We find evidence for pillow and hyaloclastite mounds, ice-confined flows, and a tuya. [•] Construction of these edifices would have melted hundreds of cubic kilometers of ice. [•] The glaciovolcanic meltwater bodies may have persisted on 100–1000year timescales.
