Lycus Sulci is a feature in the Amazonis quadrangle on Mars, with its location centered at 24.6° north latitude and 141.1° west longitude. It is 1,350 km long and is named after a classical albedo feature name. [1] The term "sulci" is applied to subparallel furrows and ridges. [2]

Apr 29, 2023 · Lycus Sulci is a low lying area of ridges and valleys found to the northwest of Olympus Mons. It is not yet understood how this feature formed or how it relates to the formation of Olympus Mons itself.

Aug 12, 2015 · This image nicely captures several influential geologic processes that have shaped the landscape of Lycus Sulci. Our observation covers an area of about 7.5 by 5.4 kilometers in Lycus Sulci, located just to the northwest …

Aug 23, 2023 · Lycus Sulci is a patch of deeply textured and wrinkled ground, resembling lots of uneven ridges rising from the terrain. This image offers a close-up perspective view as if looking down over and across the region, with the ridges stretching away from the viewer.

Oct 27, 2006 · Lycus Sulci is a complex area of ridges and valleys that surrounds the northern and western margins of Olympus Mons on Mars. How it formed is unknown. This image was taken by NASA's Mars 2001 Odyssey spacecraft.

Oct 26, 2009 · Lycus Sulci is a very complex region surrounding the northern flank of Olympus Mons. This VIS image shows several features found in Lycus Sulci including tectonic derived ridges (bottom of frame) with dark slope streaks and extensive wind etching and erosion of materials (top of frame).

Aug 28, 2023 · Lycus Sulci, featured in the new images, stretches for 621 miles (1,000 km) from Olympus Mons and stops just short of reaching the Yelwa Crater, a 4.9 mile (8 km) Martian bowl named...

Aug 23, 2023 · This oblique perspective view of Lycus Sulci and Yelwa Crater on Mars was generated from the digital terrain model and the nadir and colour channels of the High Resolution Stereo Camera on ESA’s Mars Express. It shows the large 8-km-wide Yelwa Crater in the background, while the wrinkled terrain of Lycus Sulci dominates the foreground.

The landscape of Lycus Sulci, the ‘Lycian furrows’ to the northwest of the largest volcano on Mars – the almost 22-kilometre-high Olympus Mons – tells the story of a catastrophic breaking off and sliding down of the lower, several thousand-metre-high …

Aug 23, 2023 · This image from ESA’s Mars Express shows the wrinkled surroundings of Olympus Mons (a feature named Lycus Sulci, on the raised aureole surrounding the volcano). The colours of the terrain represent topography and elevation, ranging from lower blue areas through higher yellow-orange-reds to high peaks of white.
