Using HiRISE Data - http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/dtm/dtm.php?ID=PSP_002661_1895 - an animation over features of Athabasca Valles . The terrain has accurate vertical scaling and is not exaggerated. Data courtesy of HiRISE on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, NASA / JPL / AU : http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/mro/
This animation shows various landforms in Athabasca Valles on Mars. It was created from NASA's HiRISE DTM and image data.
The spatial resolution is 1 meter for the altimetry data and 0.25 meters for the image data.
There is no vertical exageration.
The animation was created using Mars Explorer and was captured in realtime.

This image completes a mosaic of images covering a collection of streamlined islands in Athabasca Valles. Streamlined islands form by a rapid erosive flow (catastrophic flooding) around an obstacle such as a resistant rock outcrop or surface armored by impact ejecta. Examination of the margins of the islands can show evidence of terraces as in this image (http://www.uahirise.org/images/wallpaper/2880/ESP_028519_1895.jpg). Each terrace may indicate a different flow event or flood level, and can be used to reconstruct the history of flood events.

Athabasca Valles is a young 'outflow' channel system in the equatorial region of Mars. Most researchers agree that it was carved by catastrophic floods of water, and some believe that frozen floodwaters survive to this day on the channel floor. However, new HiRISE observations reveal that Athabasca Valles is entirely coated by a thin veneer of solidified lava. The lava poured from a fissure, filled the channels, and then drained downstream leaving behind a thin layer of hard rock to coat and preserve the channel system.

View of a feature 'carved' out of the terrain by thin, fluid-like lavas that once flowed in channels across the region. While this is, generally, believed to be the case where signatures show the region to be draped by a thin layer of solidified lava, others believe that features which exhibit ice-related landforms suggest the opposite of water-flooded mechanisms that may be responsible (is it, perhaps, a combination of both?).

Athabasca Valles is an outflow channel on Mars, cut into its surface by catastrophic flooding. It is one of the youngest known of these structures, probably forming only in the geologically recent past of Mars. The flood produced distinctive "teardrop" landforms similar to those found in the channeled scabland region of the United States on Earth. It is thought that these landforms were produced though depositional processes wherein the floodwaters dropped sediment behind resistant bedrock outcroppings and craters. The source of water for the flood is thought to be Cerberus Fossae, at 10 N and 157 E. Groundwater may have been trapped under a cryosphere which was broken when the fossae was created.
The very high spatial resolution images from the HiRISE camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have revealed that all the flood features are draped by lava flows (Jaeger et al., 2007).
Research, published in January 2010, described the discovery of a vast single lava flow, the size of the state of Oregon, that "was put in place turbulently over the span of several weeks at most." This flow, near Athabasca Valles, is the youngest lava flow on Mars. It is thought to be of Late Amazonian Age.

Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter
Athabasca Valles is a young 'outflow' channel system in the equatorial region of Mars. Most researchers agree that it was carved by catastrophic floods of water, and some believe that frozen floodwaters survive to this day on the channel floor. However, new HiRISE observations reveal that Athabasca Valles is entirely coated by a thin veneer of solidified lava. The lava poured from a fissure, filled the channels, and then drained downstream leaving behind a thin layer of hard rock to coat and preserve the channel system.

View of a feature 'carved' out of the terrain by thin, fluid-like lavas that once flowed in channels across the region. While this is, generally, believed to be the case where signatures show the region to be draped by a thin layer of solidified lava, others believe that features which exhibit ice-related landforms suggest the opposite of water-flooded mechanisms that may be responsible (is it, perhaps, a combination of both?). See referenced reading material at end of video.
