strange objects at source of fans?

    what are those boulder looking things that seem to be the source of the fans?.

    and why is one of them on top of the fan??? surely the fans formed after the boulders?

    just bumping

    the fan and "boulder" on the right is the most interesting, any ideas why a boulder would be visible after a fan has thrown stuff on it?

    they think? the boulder causes the fan by heating up quicker than the surrondings, boulder melts through the ice releasing the CO2 and dust from below, add the wind an you have a fan...alledgedly 😃

    the boulder would be clean because its so close to the source, the outflow would travel straight off at high velocity not having a chance to settle on the boulder

    They look more like holes to me. Makes more sense that after the venting has subsided a hole in the ice crust would remain.
