The Mawrth Vallis outflow region
The Mawrth Vallis outflow region
On 18 February 2023, during orbit 24,164, ESA's Mars Express spacecraft made a repeat flyover of the Mawrth Vallis region, one of the most distinctive and fascinating regions of the Red Planet, which is also of the greatest scientific interest. Mawrth is the Welsh name for Mars. The image strip was acquired by HRSC 130 kilometres west of the outflow of Mawrth Vallis. The strip is just under 100 kilometres wide. The landscapes shown in this image release are in the inner rectangle at the northern end of the image strip.
