This picture of the Martian surface was obtained in the early evening of January 1, 1998, by the Mars Orbiter Camera shortly after the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft began it's 80th orbit. Seen in this view are a plateau and surrounding steep slopes within the Valles Marineris. (Courtesy Malin Space Science Systems ) |

This picture of a canyon on the Martian surface was obtained a few minutes after 10 PM PST, January 8, 1998, by the Mars Orbiter Camera during the 87th orbit around Mars of the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft. It shows the canyon of Nanedi Vallis, one of the Martian valley systems cutting through cratered plains in the Xanthe Terra region of Mars. (Courtesy Malin Space Science Systems ) |
