Flow Termini among Grooves in Kasei Valles System

Flow Termini
The multiple end points of these ancient flows are among the grooves of the Kasei Valles System. Kasei runs for 2,400 kilometers across the lava plains of Lunae Planum. It begins in Echus Chasma, near Valles Marineris, and empties into Chryse Planitia, not far from where the robotic probe Viking 1 landed in 1976. Studying Kasei and its surroundings, scientists see evidence for several episodes of flooding and possibly also glacial activity.
