So what do you think? Are they deposits left by plumes or streaks caused by landslides?

What confuses me is that it says Illumination, Upper Left.

MOC imagery is almost always illuminated from the left - as the local time is about 2pm when MGS goes overhead and thus, with north at the top - the sun is to the left - granted, that goes out the window when you're right down by the poles - but still, it SAYS upper left...

However - it really does look like something tall, illuminated from lower right.
