The image reveals that the canyon walls are very smooth and generally featureless. The canyon floors display a complex set of ridges and grooves that are generally parallel to the cliffs, but in some places these are partly buried by a smooth-surfaced material. The general impression is that the ridges and grooves on the valley floors represent material that has been shed from the smooth canyon walls and was subsequently modified by wind. The picture shown is a subframe of MOC image 46703. The subframe is centered at 34.4 N latitude and 302.0 W longitude.
