Bright Gully Deposit in Terra Sirenum (the "crater" - close-up; false colors)
As seen in the context image and here, the appearance of the crater wall differs between the Northern and Southern Sides. On the Northern Pole-Facing Side Walls, prominent gullies with channels and aprons are apparent, with many of these having valley-like alcoves near their tops. The morphology of the gullies is consistent with formation by a fluid, most likely water. 
On the pole-facing slopes, ground ice or aquifers may be more stable, being subjected to less heating from sunlight compared to equator-facing slopes. 
In contrast, the Southern, Equator-Facing Walls are dominated by rocky debris flows that lack prominent channels.
Parole chiave: Mars from orbit - Craters - unnamed crater with bright gullies in Terra Sirenum
