Summary

[edit]
Description
English: View of streamlined landforms on Mars, carved by catastrophic floods, just east of the 100 km diameter crater Sharonov, which divided the flow into the two main channels seen entering at upper and lower left. In a several cases, crater rims form the heads of tadpole-shaped "islands" left behind by erosion. Impact crater ejecta deposits intrude onto a channel floor at lower left.

This scene is a segment of a THEMIS daytime infrared image mosaic showing Kasei Valles, a large system of martian outflow channels, and its surroundings. Kasei Valles is situated north of the Valles Marineris canyon system. It drains eastward into Chryse Planitia. North is at the top.

The original NASA image has been sharpened. Some of the features in this image have been annotated in Wikimedia Commons.
