Abstract

The recent geologic history of Athabasca Valles, Mars, is controversial. Some studies report ice-rich sediment in its channels, whereas others find only lava. Data from the High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera now confirm that, although certain features exhibit a superficial similarity to ice-related landforms, solidified lava coats the entire channel system.
