Slopes in East Melas Chasma
Potential recurring slope lineae was detected in earlier images, perhaps associated with the sulfate-rich layers we find here. Melas Chasma is part of the Valles Marineris canyon system.
Image cutout is less than 5 km (3 mi) across and the spacecraft altitude was 261 km (162 mi). For full observation details including images with scale bars, visit the source link.
