Original Caption Released with Image:

30 March 2006 This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows a valley which has become partially-filled with material. It is located west of Hellas Planitia. The valley, entering the scene from the east (right), turns toward the southwest (lower left) and splits to form a "V". Partially-filled depressions are common throughout the scene, including the circular feature near the top of the image. In each such case, the filling material is probably the remains of a material that once covered the entire scene. Location near: 48.4°S, 318.1°W Image width: ~3 km (~1.9 mi) Illumination from: upper left Season: Southern Summer
