Recurring slope lineae (RSL) are relatively lowalbedo features that extend downslope from bedrock outcrops, often associated with small channels, and hundreds of them may form in rare locations. RSL appear and lengthen in the late southern spring/summer from 48°S to 32°S latitudes, favoring equator-facing slopes--times and places with peak surface temperatures from ~250-300 K. Liquid brines near the surface might explain this activity, but the mechanism and source of water are not understood.
