July 21, 2005
This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows several dark-walled and dark-floored troughs, formed along fault trends radial to the Elysium volcanic rise, in the Cerberus region of Mars. The troughs cut through a plain that was earlier scoured by floods of the Athabasca Valles system.
