Active Slope Flows on the Central Hills of Hale Crater, Mars. The central hills in Hale Crater, with thousands of seasonal flows on steep slopes below bedrock outcrops, with relatively dark and reddish lines extending onto sediment fans. These lines grow slowly over several months time, fade and disappear in the cold season (southern winter), then reform the next warm season (southern spring and summer). Image is less than 1 km top to bottom and is 254 km (158 mi) above the surface. North is to the left. An optimised & enhanced version of NASA imagery. Credit: NASA/JPL/UArizona
