Northern Arabia Terra

Today's VIS image shows part of northern Arabia Terra. Arabia Terra is one of the oldest surface regions on Mars and contains a large variety of surface features. The region is dissected with numerous unnamed channels of all sizes and complexities, as well as numerous pits of unknown origin. The majority of channels in this region flow north into Acidalia Planitia. The western rim of Sinton Crater is visible at the top of the image. Sinton Crater is 62km in diameter (39 miles).
