Harmakhis Vallis is a valley nearHellas Planitia,Mars. It has been identified as anoutflow channel, the site of catastrophic floods of water during Mars' past.

Gullies are also common on the wall of Harmakhis Vallis, as seen the image below. Some authors have suggested these structures indicate geologically recent flow of small quantities of water across the surface.[1]
