Our science goal is to observe possible fluvial erosion that could help us to understand the climate history of this region of Phlegra Montes. A Context Camera image and previous HiRISE images show faint, but possible channels. The Phlegra Montes are a system of eroded massifs and knobby terrain in the mid-latitudes of the Northern lowlands of Mars.
