Channel Eroding Crater in Terra Sirenum

A Channel and Crater in Terra Sirenum
The objective of this observation is to examine a channel that eroded through both sides of a small impact crater. The channel seems to be in the middle of a larger valley. Terra Sirenum is a vast, heavily cratered upland region in Mars’ Southern Hemisphere, stretching roughly 3,900 kilometers across.
