    is it me or does this look like a river delta or a run off stream of lava from a slow eruption?

    Hi!

    in a way those channels resemble river deltas, but they are much smaller (this one is appr. 200m) and there is no liquid water to carve them, because this area is at -123C. They are spider troughs, you can see how they are formed in here http://planetfour.org/#/about
