Rubble and boulder deposits in Reull Vallis
Rubble and boulder deposits in Reull Vallis
Ice flows have deposited rubble and boulders in the upper section of Reull Vallis outflow channel, some seven kilometres wide and 300 metres deep at this point, near to the Promethei Terra region that is. After the ice mass melted, a pattern was left in the sediments in which the movement of the glacier and its rocky cargo is clearly visible. A tributary valley flows into the main valley in the centre of the image.
