Hummocky Surface in Kasei Valles

A Hummocky Surface in Kasei Valles
Kasei Valles is one of the largest outflow channels on Mars and probably formed by gigantic flood events and shaped by later glacial activity. This footprint gives us a sample of hummocky and platy regions along part of the edge. “Kasei” is the Japanese word for the planet Mars.
