Athabasca Valles
This VIS image shows part of Athabasca Valles. The tear shaped features in the image are called streamlined islands. They are formed by the erosion of pre-existing positive topographic features that deflect the fluid around them. The narrow "tail" of the island points downstream, in this case from the upper right to the lower left.
