Title:
Reull Valles (Enhanced Color)
Original Caption Released with Image:
A conspicuous fretted channel, Reull Valles, which dissects wall deposits of the large Hellas impact basin, trends southeast towards the basin floor. Center of picture is at latitude 42 degrees S., longitude 258 degrees W. Fretted channels are wide, flat-floored channels with steep walls, which may be runoff channels that have been modified and enlarged by masswasting. Many nearby hills and mountains are surrounded by lobate debris aprons, which may have formed by slow creep of rock deposits aided by the presence of near-surface ice. Layering is exposed in the channel and crater walls. The color variations of the surface are very bland in this region; most of the variations seen are due to atmospheric scattering. Viking Orbiter Picture Numbers 126A08 (violet), 126A16 (green), and 126A24 (red) at 157 m/pixel resolution. Picture width is 161 km. North is 112 degrees clockwise from top.
