Mamers Valles

Today's VIS image shows a section of Mamers Valles. The channel is nearly 1000 km long (600 miles). Mamers Valles originates near Cerulli Crater in northern Arabia Terra, and after a short section near the crater where flow is to the south, flows northward to empty in Deuteronilus Mensae. This image is located where the channel changes from southward flow to northward. On the right side of the image the channel cuts from one crater into a lower one. The channel hugs the wall of the second crater and then exits to the top of the image. The steep walls of Mamers Valles can reach heights of 1200 m (4000 feet).
