Buvinda Vallis, Mars
This Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) VIS image is of Buvinda Vallis, Mars (32.6oN, 32.6oE), and was collected on the 72683rd orbit of the 2001 Mars Odyssey mission. Buvinda Vallis is >130 km long, and originates in a non-descript pit just east of the volcano Hecates Tholus. It is not clear if this channel was carved by lava, by water, or a combination of these two fluids, but no clear deposits can be identified at the distal end of the channel.
