The site is 130 km southwest of the crater Schiaparelli (400 km diam.). Several well- developed valley networks debouch into this region. The area is covered mostly by smooth featureless (lacustrine?) plains which embay isolated hills and massifs. The valley networks originate in highlands which rim the southern and eastern edge of this area.
Scientific Rationale
To be determined.
Objectives
Determine the origin (lacustrine, volcanic) of the smooth plains (Hpl3) and obtain knowledge of ancient highlands (Npld, HNu) and fluvial processes (age and origin and valley networks, i.e. sapping, precipitation).
Potential Problems
To be determined.
Trafficability
To be determined.
Estimated Traverse Distance
To be determined.
