This image, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera
(HRSC) on board ESA's Mars Express spacecraft, shows Kasei Valles, one of the
biggest outflow channel systems on Mars.
A perspective view of the Northern branch of Kasei Valles looking
to the West (the image has been rotated approximately 90 degrees clockwise so
that North is to the right) is shown here. As one of the biggest outflow
channel systems on Mars, Kasei Valles was probably formed by gigantic flood
events and later additionally shaped by glacial activity.
The HRSC snapped this during orbit 1429 on 26 February 2005.
