Colour plan view of the Mangala Vallis and Vallis Minio region
In this image of the Mangala Valles and Minio Vallis region – about 200 kilometres from its outflow on the border of the northern Martian lowlands – the subtle variations in colour reveal how masses of water have at different times transported sediments into this region and deposited them there. In this image, north is to the right.
