HiPOD: Channel, Fan, Crater

The objective of this observation is to examine a channel on a crater wall, where a fan has formed at the base. Images like this, also found in Context Camera data, may help us better understand how craters are degraded. This particular crater is one of many located to the northwest of the massive Hellas impact basin.
