Dark Slope Streaks
Today's VIS image is located on the southwestern margin of Orcus Patera. Dark slope streaks are present on most cliff faces in the image. Formation of these features is linked to a change in the surface, either removal of the dusty surface revealing darker rock beneath the dust, or a volatile flow along the cliff face.
