7 April 2005
This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows channels carved into the plains southeast of the large volcano, Olympus Mons. The fluid that created these landforms flowed from upper right toward the lower left, but its nature is unknown. Today, the entire scene is mantled with dust.
