Lobo and Kasei Valles (THEMIS_IOTD_20251016a)

Today's VIS image shows part of Lobo Vallis and Kasei Valles. This image is located where Kasei Valles splits to circle around Sharonov Crater, creating Lobo Vallis. Lobo Vallis flows around the northern side of the crater, with the main Kasei Valles channel flowing along the south side. The two channel segments recombine prior to emptying into Chryse Basin.

 

This martian scene spans 19 x 282 kilometers (12 x 175 miles). To see where on Mars this area lies, and to download high-resolution versions of the image go to themis.asu.edu/zoom-20251016a
