About this work

Today's VIS image shows a portion of Ares Vallis. Located in Margaritifer Terra, Ares Vallis is an outflow channel carved by massive floods of escaping groundwater whose source lies far to the south of this image. Ares Vallis is over 1757 km long (1091 miles). This channel, and all others in this region, drain into Chryse Planitia.
