The Hellas floor contains some strange-looking features.
 One of these features is called "banded terrain."
 This terrain has also been called "taffy pull" terrain, and it lies near honeycomb terrain, another strange surface.
 Banded terrain is found in the north-western part of the Hellas basin.
 This section of the Hellas basin is the deepest.
 The banded-terrain deposit displays an alternation of narrow band shapes and inter-bands.
 The sinuous nature and relatively smooth surface texture suggesting a viscous flow origin.
 A study published in Planetary and Space Science found that this terrain was the youngest deposit of the interior of Hellas.
 They also suggest in the paper that banded terrain may have covered a larger area of the NW interior of Hellas.
 The bands can be classified as linear, concentric, or lobate.
 Bands are typically 3–15 km long, 3 km wide.
 Narrow inter-band depressions are 65 m wide and 10 m deep.
 Pictures of these features can look like abstract art.
