This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows
gullies and cracked and stressed gully apron deposits in a south
mid-latitude crater. Gullies can also be seen in the deep shadow on the
north wall of the crater. These gullies might have formed by the erosive
action of liquid water, sometime in the not-too-distant martian past.
