Inverted Channel in Southeast Aniak Crater

Inverted Channel in Southeast Aniak Crater

An Inverted Channel in Aniak Crater
The objective of this observation, also available in Context Camera data, is to examine a valley that turns into a ridge in the southeastern part of Aniak Crater. This is probably an example of an inverted channel, so the material that formed it was more resistant to erosion than the surrounding terrain.
