HiRISE PICTURE OF THE DAY: 17 JULY 2026
Inverted Terrain near Granicus Valles
The objective of this observation is to examine possible inverted terrain. The image shows a curved ridge and a group of short ridges that makes a pattern resembling a branching stream drainage. Granicus Valles is located just west of the Elysium Mons volcanic complex and was likely formed by the flow of lava rather than water.
