Nanedi Valles

Nanedi Valles is a large valley in the Lunae Palus quadrangle of Mars, located at 4.9° N and 49.0° W. It is 508.0 km long and was named for the word for "planet" in Sesotho, the national language of Lesotho, Africa.

Nanedi Valles is located between Shalbatana Vallis and upper Maja Valles. It is 4 km wide at its northern end. Its shape is similar to that of Nirgal Vallis, being very sinuous and having only a few short branches.

Unusually for Martian valleys, the individual channel structures within the wider valley floors can occasionally be seen in this system.
