About this work

This VIS image shows a section of Shalbatana Vallis. Located in Xanthe Terra, Shalbatana Vallis is one of many channels that empty into Chryse Planitia. Shalbatana Vallis is an outflow channel carved by massive floods from escaping groundwater whose source lies far to the south of this image. The vallis is over 1300 km long (807 miles).
