Tantalus Fossae
Tantalus Fossae is a group of troughs in the Arcadia quadrangle of Mars, located at 50.9° north latitude and 97.5° west longitude. They are about 2,400 km long and was named after an albedo feature at 35N, 110W. Troughs like this one are called fossae on Mars.
The name Ceraunius Fossae is plural and translates into "the Ceraunian trenches," but the name is commonly used in the singular when referring to the area itself.
Location and size.
Most of the Ceraunius Fossae are located in the northern Tharsis quadrangle. A portion extends northward into the southwestern part of the Arcadia quadrangle where the fossae diverge around the flanks of Alba Mons to form the Alba and Tantalus Fossae systems. The area stretches from lat. 18.9° to 38°N and from long. 247
