Valleys in a Crater in Terra Cimmeria

Two valleys within this crater appear to terminate at the crater’s central pit. High resolution measurements of these valleys can help us estimate the amount(s) of water required to form the fluvial features in the crater. This will help in determining the hydrous history of the crater and, potentially, the local area.
