HiRISE: A sneak peek into Saheki’s secret layers
Saheki Crater is large, about 84 kilometers across, and located in the Southern highlands of Mars, to the north of Hellas Planitia. It’s filled with beautiful alluvial fans that formed when water (likely melting snow) carried fine material, such as … Continue reading

HiRISE: One-kilometer crater on Saheki Crater floor
This HiRISE image shows several smaller craters that formed on the floor of Saheki Crater, an 85-kilometer diameter impact crater north of Hellas Basin. The western portion of this crater is covered by alluvial fan-like deposits that emanate from channels … Continue reading

HiRISE: Alluvial fan stratigraphy in Saheki Crater
Alluvial fans are gently-sloping wedges of sediments deposited by flowing water. Some of the best-preserved alluvial fans on Mars are in Saheki Crater, an area that we’ve imaged many times previously. This observation covers two impact craters that expose the … Continue reading
