Today's VIS image shows a section of unnamed channel located at the margin where large northward flowing channels enter Chryse Planitia. Channels such as Tiu, Ares, and Shalbatana Valles arise from the Valles Marineris canyons to empty a thousand miles later into the Chryse basin. Ares Vallis is over 1600km long (1000 miles) and Tiu Vallis is over 1720km long (1069 miles).
