This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows an array of gullies in the north-northwest wall of a crater in Terra Cimmeria. These features may have been formed through the interaction of several processes including, but not limited to, mass wasting and/or seepage and runoff of groundwater.
