About this work

This VIS image is located in Terra Sabaea near the margin of Syrtis Major Planum. The channel-like feature in the bottom of the image is an unnamed feature. There is a high spot within the channel that would not let a fluid pass from one side to the other. This indicates that this is not a water carved channel, but was most likely an underground lava tube, where collapse of the roof has revealed the underlying feature.
