Channel Head in Newton Crater

Channel Head in Newton Crater

In Search Of...Channel Heads
Do channels found within Newton Crater resemble subglacial channels? Are these channel heads consistent with sapping? Our observation can help to get slope measurements of the channel, especially with a stereo pair. Newton has a diameter of about 300 kilometers, located south of the planet’s equator.
