Mamers Valles (THEMIS_IOTD_20220701a)
Today's VIS image shows a section of Mamers Valles. Mamer Valles is nearly 1000 km long (600 miles). It 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. The section of the channel in this image is part of the southward flowing part of the system. The steep walls of Mamers Valles can reach heights of 1200 m (4000 feet).
This martian scene spans 19 x 68 kilometers (12 x 42 miles). To see where on Mars this area lies, and to download high-resolution versions of the image go to themis.asu.edu/zoom-20220701a
